This prize rewards outstanding contributions to the Research Catalogue (i.e. RC Expositions) by staff and students of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. We are looking for published RC contributions from the years 2023 and 2024.

The aim of the prize is to promote innovative and experimental publication formats and to make artistic research widely visible internationally.

Applicants are encouraged to use open licences for their contributions wherever possible. Both individuals and teams can submit entries.

Prize amount:

One prize of EUR 1,000 and two prizes of EUR 500 each can be awarded.
The award ceremony will take place as part of the Academy's Research Day on 14 November 2024 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Eligibility for participation:

All employees and students of the Academy are eligible to participate.
In addition, submissions of contributions by former employees or students are also possible, provided that the exposition was published in the Research Catalogue at the time of a valid employment or study enrollment and after 1 January 2023.
It is also possible to submit expositions by former employees that were the results of a funded third-party project at the Academy and were published in the Research Catalogue after 1 January 2023.

Jury:

The decision on the awarding of the prizes is made by a jury that assesses the quality of the submissions. There is no legal entitlement to the awarding of prizes.

Submission modalities:

Submissions can only be made online via the Academy's submission platform.
The application form also requires a short written reflexive statement (min. 500, max. 1,500 characters) on the submitted contribution. This reflection should emphasise the innovative, experimental and unique aspects of the contribution.

Only expositions created in the Research Catalogue (RC) will be accepted. A corresponding link must be provided in the submission form.
The RC expositions must have been created between 1 January 2023 and 3 October 2024 and published in the Research Catalogue (self-published, published in a journal linked to the RC or published in the Academy's RC portal).
