The global art community is abuzz as TERRADA ART AWARD 2025 opens its doors for submissions, offering contemporary artists an unparalleled platform to elevate their work. With its roots in Tokyo’s vibrant art scene, the award celebrates creativity across diverse mediums, inviting participation from emerging and established talents worldwide.
This prestigious award, hosted by Warehouse TERRADA, is more than a competition—it’s a launchpad for artists poised to redefine the boundaries of contemporary art. From paintings and photography to digital media, textiles, and even sound art, TERRADA ART AWARD embraces all forms of creative expression.
A Platform for Global Recognition
The award’s mission is clear: to discover and empower artists who have the potential to make an indelible mark on the global stage. It achieves this through a two-stage selection process involving an esteemed panel of jurors with a keen understanding of the art world.
Artists will first submit their portfolios for review in the initial round. The finalists, chosen based on their innovative concepts and creative merit, will then develop exhibition plans that align with their artistic vision. This culminates in the TERRADA ART AWARD 2025 Finalist Exhibition, a prestigious showcase that brings their concepts to life.
Selected finalists will receive a 3 million yen production support prize, alongside a suite of supplementary rewards designed to nurture their artistic journeys. These include access to premium art supplies, complimentary art storage services, and opportunities for research grants to support future projects.
Building on a Legacy of Success
The previous edition of the award, TERRADA ART AWARD 2023, saw a remarkable range of talent from Japan and abroad. Finalists such as Mitsuo Kim, Yuma Tomiyasu, and Yuki Harada captivated audiences with their thought-provoking works, showcased at the January 2024 exhibition. The legacy of innovation and excellence continues with the 2025 iteration, raising the bar for artistic achievement.
Prizes that Inspire Growth
In addition to the substantial financial support, the 2025 award offers:
- Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne as a celebratory gift.
- PIGMENT TOKYO art supplies worth 100,000 yen.
- Research grants up to 300,000 yen for future creations.
- Free access to Warehouse TERRADA’s art storage and digital services for multiple years.
These prizes reflect the award’s commitment to fostering not only creative output but also long-term sustainability and exploration within the art community.
The Jury: A Global Perspective on Contemporary Art
The award’s jury panel comprises leading figures in the global art scene. Names such as Yukie Kamiya, Daito Manabe, and Meruro Washida bring an international perspective to the selection process, ensuring that the chosen works reflect the pulse of contemporary culture.
Their combined expertise spans curatorship, artistic creation, and academic research, making this one of the most robust and discerning panels in the art world.
