About

The first International Visual Arts Prize IDEA – Vila d'Amer is organised by IDEA Associació Cultural with the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Amer town council and the Diputació de Girona. It is open to artists aged 18 and over of any nationality and residence, each submitting one original, non-editioned work in painting, drawing, photography (1/1 originals only), printmaking (monotypes or single prints only), collage, mixed media or another physically exhibitable visual art form. The work must not have won a prize elsewhere.

Works must measure at least 40 cm on the shorter side and no more than 120 cm on the longer side (depth up to 120 cm for 3D work), frames included, and weigh no more than 12 kg. Entry is free and online only through MundoArti. Work generated wholly or substantially by generative AI is not accepted; any auxiliary AI use must be declared.

A jury of four artists and an art critic selects 20 finalists, whose work is delivered to Amer between 1 and 22 February 2027 at the artist's expense and shown at Ca les Hermanes d'Amer in March 2027. Prizes of €3,500 and €1,500 (gross) are acquisitive: both works join the new IDEA – Vila d'Amer collection. Winners are announced on 2 April 2027 at Teatre El Casal d'Amer.
