Open call, Emerging Artists for Impact Award. The International Art
Project, a 501(c)(3) foundation, invites visual artists who are
currently enrolled in a BFA or MFA program, or who graduated from one
within the past two years, to submit work for its inaugural Emerging
Artists for Impact Award. Applicants must be 18 or older. No
submission fee. An independent jury selects twenty finalists on
artistic merit alone. There is no required subject. Finalists are
exhibited together in Miami Beach during Miami Art Week, opening
November 30, 2026, and every finalist receives an award, $3,500 to the
grand prize winner and $1,500 to each of the other nineteen. If you
are selected and accept, the accepted work transfers to the
International Art Project and is not returned, and you keep copyright.
Deadline Friday, October 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Full guidelines and
