A wide range of international professionals, curators, artists and art institutions nominate talented artists from all over the world for this prestigious prize.
The nominees reflect the breadth of contemporary printmaking around the world, ranging from traditional forms to new approaches involving installation, collage and performance.

NUWA – MARTIAN ANGEL – Is a primitive angel and shrine to the future sustainable Mars mega city named NUWA . The animation makes graphic references to past and future human architecture both here on Planet Earth and on Mars. The sci-fi reference and hologram of Altair in her iconic white dress from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet has a dual metaphor and reference to the A star – Altair, aka Alpha Aquilae, which shines as the brightest star in the constellation Aquila the Eagle and is visible in the northern hemisphere in the warm summer months.
