Get matched →The BBA Artist Prize is an annual open call from BBA Gallery in Berlin, open to artists working in any medium and around any theme. Entrants submit up to five artworks for consideration by a jury of industry professionals—including active international curators, collectors, and gallerists—who judge submissions on visual excellence, storytelling, conceptual thinking, technical craftsmanship, and subject depth.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
€39 (Earlybird rate) per submission of up to 5 artworks; additional fees apply for artworks submitted beyond five. The entry fee is non-refundable and non-transferable and covers the entire upload. No student or other discounts currently offered.
Online application through the BBA website.
Selection proceeds in stages: a Longlist of 50 artists is chosen first, promoted via BBA's website and social media; a Shortlist of 20 artists is then drawn from the longlist to exhibit in Berlin and compete for the prizes. Shortlisted artists are responsible for shipping costs and logistics; BBA Gallery insures artworks only while on-site and offers customs advice and shipping-partner recommendations.
Prize winners receive separate contracts depending on their prize: solo-show winners sign a solo exhibition contract, while Artsy-profile-only winners sign a 12-month consignment agreement. Works exhibited may be offered for sale, with proceeds split 50/50 between artist and gallery. Artists retain full copyright but grant BBA and prize partners a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use images for promotional purposes.
