The KAF Young Art Prize will award three ex aequo main prizes of €12,000 each. In addition, all the finalists will receive an exhibition fee of €400.

The prizes for the winners and the remuneration for the other finalists will be paid out in euros.

There will be no special prizes in this year's KAF Young Art Prize.

Yes, the language of the competition is English, so your entire application (bio, portfolio, statement) must be in English.

To participate in our competition, you must be of legal age and no older than 35 years old (at the time of filling in the application form).

No, you do not have to be a debutant. Your work may have been exhibited before, but it must be your property – it cannot have been sold or belong to someone else's collection.

From 1 to 3 painting works.

Yes, polyptychs can be submitted to the competition.

The longer edge of a set of paintings when arranged side by side must not exceed 250 centimetres.

Unfortunately no. Only differences within the limits of measurement errors will be tolerated.

Unfortunately no. Only works of art that were created after January 2022 can be submitted to the competition.

KAF covers the costs of transporting the works to and from the exhibition. Within the borders of Poland, this is the entire amount, and in international shipping it is up to PLN 500 (this is the maximum amount that KAF will reimburse to one participant).

Transport and insurance issues will be agreed with each finalist individually. We are planning to take out insurance policies, but we reserve the possibility of not providing them if for some reason this is not possible.

Between eight and twelve people will get into the final.

All people who have entered the competition will receive an email informing them of the results once the list of finalists has been selected.

All finalists will receive an exhibition fee or one of the prizes. Participation in the final exhibition is not tantamount to the purchase of the work for the KAF collection.

The interviews will be held on predetermined dates in May/June 2024.

Yes, the KAF Young Art Prize is an international competition and you can participate in it from anywhere in the world.

All formal parts of the competition will take place online – coming to Wrocław will not be necessary. However, we would like all the finalists to attend the opening, so we will cover the travel costs for those travelling from Poland and reimburse travel costs up to a certain amount for those travelling from other countries. We will also cover the costs of accommodation in Wrocław.

The announcement of the winners will take place at the opening of the final exhibition.

It will take place on 14 June 2024.

No. The assembly will be carried out by the professional KAF team.

No, as the assembly will take place without the artists' participation.

The exhibition will feature works by all the finalists. However, the number of featured works by each artist may vary – we reserve the right to show only selected paintings.

For the needs of the KAF Young Art Prize, we understand painting as broadly as possible, without defining this medium in a way that would limit the extent of creativity. However, we would like to remind you that digital art or video works are not painting. We also do not accept works that cannot be transported, such as murals.

The jury will make its decision after seeing the original works, talking to the finalists and having an internal discussion as part of the deliberations.

Krupa Art Foundation has established the KAF Young Art Prize to support artists at an early stage of their development. The competition is also an attempt to find the right place for such projects and the role they could play.
