Eligibility

Selection Criteria: The selection process is not based on a formula or an automatic scoring system. Artistic judgment necessarily involves a subjective and situated dimension. The criteria function as reading tools, not as a checklist of requirements that projects must fulfill. Taste The jury reviews projects through its own singular aesthetic criteria, paying attention to their form, decisions, and construction. Displacement The jury pays attention to the difference a project produces, both within the artist’s/writer’s own practice and in relation to other artistic and literary practices.
