“Taoyuan International Art Award,” organized by Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, calls for entries from June 1 to July 10, 2020. New works created by individuals or groups, which disregard nationality, and that have neither been exhibited nor recognized by any award at home or abroad are eligible for registration.
Open call biennially for entries of all categories in Chinese or English
With an aim to promote the experimentation and innovation of contemporary art, Taoyuan International Art Award provides a platform for creation and exchanges to incubate a new generation of artists, enhance international art exchanges, and cultivate art research and practices. The Award is organized biennially, with one year for entry submission from around the world and one year for exhibition, so that artists can have more time for creation and exhibition planning. The call for entries is open to works of any material, category, or field. Artists can submit their entry either in Chinese or in English. For artists that are selected after the preliminary review, the Organizer will cover the expenses for the basic exhibit build-up and the roundtrip tickets of coach (economy class) to and from Taiwan for foreign artists to partake in the exhibition in Taiwan. One winner for “Grand Prize” will be determined from the shortlist with a prize of NTD 500,000 and three winners for “Honorable Mention” with a prize of NTD 120,000.
Two rounds of selection with preliminary and secondary reviews; an exhibition for an international dialogue
The Taoyuan International Art Award employs a 2-round selection. The first round is an online selection. Artists selected in the Preliminary Review will build up their exhibits and participate in the exhibition in Taiwan. The second round involves on-site review by the jury, followed by an interview in person with the participating artists. The selected entries will be exhibited on the first floor of Taoyuan Arts Center in March and April 2021.
Art workers are cordially invited to enter the competition. Art lovers diverse in cultural backgrounds and ages are welcome to the exhibition for an international dialogue.
