About the contest
TARTGET PAINTING PRIZE is a private initiative for the promotion of art. Our goal is to give visibility to creators, encourage artistic production, and provide content to enthusiasts, collectors, and galleries. The main impulse of the cultural project is the international painting competition. This online contest concludes with the award ceremony gala and a collective exhibition in Madrid, but it is only the culmination of twelve months of dissemination and artistic communion. Throughout the year, the social media linked to the prize will showcase each and every work that joins the competition. It will be the business card for the public, the opportunity to showcase the artworks
Interaction, dynamism, and global reach are the hallmarks of this artistic project, launched in the spring of 2024 with the opening of the competition for the first edition of the international painting contest, Tartget Prize. This competition will award over 30,000 euros in cash to the winners. Additionally, the Acquisition Awards will provide at least another 10,000 euros. The combination of both, along with dozens of prizes in fine arts materials, training, and artistic promotion valued at more than 10,000 euros, places this competition among the most important in the world.
In total, there will be 18 cash prizes, including an award for the best works by artists under 25 years old. The organization will also reward with a Summer Art Residency at Barcelona Academy of Art, numerous recognitions with fine arts materials, and promotion in international art magazines.
Tartget Painting Prize emerges as a global window through which artists of every pictorial style, technique, and relevance can showcase their work. Emerging creators, enthusiasts, professionals, and established artists have the opportunity to present their works on a widely broadcasted platform and, consequently, establish a presence in the market. Their works will be analyzed and fairly evaluated by reputable members of the jury and considered for their agendas by collectors of proven prestige.
Regarding the aforementioned major final exhibition in Madrid, first, the 22 members of the international jury will proceed with the selection of the 200 finalist artworks. From these, around 50 paintings will be exhibited at the extraordinary Ateneo de Madrid from June 5 to 12, 2025. From this selection, the three absolute winning paintings, the two finalists in each category, the youth prize, and the rest of the prizes consisting of materials, promotion, and training will be chosen.
