The Audi Art Award

« Keep your backgrounds simple to help push the viewer to focus in on your subject. »

The Audi Art Award supports students and graduates. It will be awarded for the first time in 2008 to talents from Hamburg and Hanover and a selection of their international partner cities.

A jury consisting of high grade representatives of the German art and culture scene will select the most impressing works. Without any costs for the artist, those works will be reproduced as high-end prints for a one-time exhibition.

The theme for the Audi Art Award 2008 is „Live Progressively" and directed at young and upcoming photography artists, who are invited to realize their artistic visions of progressive life.

A convincing visualization of the symbiosis of progress and life with the connotation of modernness and dynamics and the specific effects on each individuals life should be achieved. Progress and technic, which accelerate the world day by day and whose synergies and globalization can be felt and experienced by all people, offer a wide spectrum for persuasive artistic analysis.

Out of all entries a competent jury will chose the best 15 works from each city including both winners from Hamburg and Hanover and form the exclusive art award exhibition which will take place in a local gallery.
