## About this call

The Lab Art Prize, presented as the Malamegi Lab Art Award, is a global competition that spans the full range of contemporary visual practice, from painting, drawing and sculpture to photography, graphic design, mixed media, digital art and video. The organizing institution is not identified in the information available to us, and we are unable to confirm the scope of its curatorial programme or the composition of its jury beyond the prizes it publicly lists. Applicants should accordingly evaluate the award on its stated terms rather than on assumptions about institutional standing. The stated rewards are a cash prize of €1000, an artwork acquisition award capped at €2000, inclusion in the New Malamegi Collection, participation in a group exhibition, and the production of a monographic catalogue. Taken together, these components pair immediate financial recognition with more durable forms of documentation and collection visibility. The acquisition element in particular situates the prize as a route into institutional holdings, while the catalogue offers a record of the work that outlasts the exhibition itself. The curatorial vision, as it can be inferred from the award's structure, appears to favour a broad, medium-inclusive survey of contemporary practice rather than a single thesis or movement. Whether the selection leans toward any particular conceptual or formal position cannot be verified from the available material, and prospective applicants should treat that as an open question.
