Artists can use any equipment, there is no limit. Traditional work can be part of the creative process, but we do not accept digitised versions of traditional work.
How does the Lumen Prize work?
In late September, we announce the winners of the 2017 Lumen Prize and exhibit the winning and shortlisted works in London. The tour, an ever evolving programme of events, that takes place around the world; these events include exhibitions, seminars and festivals.
Who judges the top prizes?
The Longlist will be reviewed by an eminent international jury panel - including Doug Dodds, senior curator of the V&A - who will select the top prize winners.
How does the judging work?
All works are reviewed by our International Selection Committee, made up of art and technology specialists, including curators, writers and academics.
