All living artists, regardless of their origin, can present their candidacy for art works less than two years old, but which may already have been exhibited. Each artist may submit only one work. The contest is international and uses English as main language.

Despite the growing interest in various forms of artistic realizations, this nevertheless still is confronted with some limitations. Contemporary art is gaining in importance, but is only one facet of the overall contemporary artistic production. Art inspired by and in contact with the technological developments of today is not a mainstream interest. It is our aim to promote these contemporary art forms and further open them up to a wider audience.

From the very beginning, the Liedts Meesen Foundation has made a clear choice for these little known forms of artistic expression. This conscious choice is consistent with the transnational goals of the foundation.

This award is thus restricted to new technology art.

Preselection
The international jury selects 20 projects from all candidates. At the end of the exhibition and at the time of the international conference, the jury will reward one art work. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, also each visitor with an entrance ticket can vote in favor of a work. The highest number of votes determines the winner of the public prize. In addition, talks are under way for the granting of a prize by the Brussels Capital Region for the works shown in Brussels, and by the Flemish Community for the work shown in Ghent.
