A new edition in 2025 of the Itzal Aktiboa Prize?

December 08, 2024

Launched for the first time in 2011, the competition for the Itzal aktiboa Prize - Young Contemporary Art was organized again in 2013, 2015 and 2018. A fifth edition was planned for 2021 but had to be canceled because of the Covid19 pandemic.

We are now exploring the possibility of relaunching the competition in 2025, in collaboration with associative and institutional partners across the Basque Country.

As in the past, this new edition of the competition would be open to any artist under the age of 40 living and working in the Basque Country (seven provinces). The applications would be reviewed by a jury of personalities from the world of Basque contemporary art. The works of the artists chosen as finalists would be presented in a group exhibition in the Prison des Evêques in Saint Jean Pied de Port in October 2025.
