    UPDATE: deadline extended to May 9, 2015.

    Call for submissions now open for the sixth edition of Premio Combat Prize, an international contest devoted to the constant pursuit of different paths and talents which characterize contemporary art.

    Premio Combat Prize was born with the purpose of investigating the most interesting ideas in international contemporary art. The name Combat draws its conceptual inspiration from combat films, videos shot by American military cameramen during World War II battles. Combat films, often shot on the frontline and live, filmed the horrors of the war to document and show to the American people - not yet used to reality TV - what was going on, including the most bloody events.

    Premio Combat Prize shares the same objective, which is maybe ambitious but certainly effective from a cultural viewpoint: to go to the frontline to search for different trends in the international art world and to document at the same time the new artistic languages as they develop. It represents a new kind of research model based on a cultural discourse which is free from any commercial constrictions.

    There are five categories:

    • Painting
    • Photography
    • Graphic Arts
    • Video
    • Sculpture and Installation

    After the initial short-listing, artists will be asked to send their original artworks to be included in the collective exhibition.

    The registration fee is 50 Euro (approx. 61 USD) for the first artwork entered and 40 Euro for each additional artwork.

    Eligibility


    This competition is open to any contemporary artist from anywhere in the world. There are neither age restrictions nor thematic constraints.

    Prize


    The Premio Combat Prize entails the selection of 80 artworks and will culminate in the exhibition of the finalists, the publication of a catalogue, and the award of money prizes and three artist- in-residence scholarships.

    • 6,000 Euro (approx. 7,300 USD) to the winner of Painting category
