If you have something to exhibit, find a Grand Rapid’s Michigan venue, pay your fees, arrange to ship and hang your work, you are eligible to win the $250,000 grand prize or other cash awards. Winners are selected by popular vote made by those attending the venues. It is an international competition.
"At ArtPrize, any artist—from established to emerging—has the chance to show work (in Grand Rapids, Michigan, US). Any visitor can vote. The vote will determine who wins the largest art prize in the world. We also took the unusual step to allow people in the city to open a venue and choose the artists to show in their space. There is not one official curator or jury for the competition." - ArtPrize Web Site
