Awards and Visibility
One of the great attractions of TARTGET is the visibility that Madrid will give to the artists. No other city brings together three of the world’s most outstanding art galleries in so few meters; and the final exhibition will be located in that golden mile of art, a five-minute walk from the Prado Museum. The exhibition will attract the attention of a substantial audience after the works are revealed in a preview for collectors, sponsors, and entrepreneurs, so they can be acquired.
Of course, the other great value of TARGET is the unparalleled number of prizes it awards.
More than €40,000 in cash will be distributed among the winners, divided into four main prizes (€12,000 for first place, €6,000 for second place, €4,000 for third place, and €4,000 for the Target Fusion prize), ten additional prizes of €500 each for the first place in each category, and acquisition prizes exceeding €10,000.
Furthermore, more than forty awards in art materials, training, and promotion valued at over €10,000 will be given out. In total, more than €50,000 in prizes make this competition one of the most important in the world.
The award ceremony will be attended by personalities from the art world, culture, sports, and politics, in addition to numerous media outlets. A unique opportunity to open the doors to success.
In total, there will be 22 cash prizes, including an award for the best work by an artist under 25 years old.
The organization will also reward winners with a one-week residency at the MAA (Madrid Academy of ART), various recognitions with fine arts materials, and promotion in international art magazines.
