Each year the prize will take on a new theme in accordance with the process of constructing a new world. The theme for 2013 is Revitalisation, which seeks to reflect the metropolis reignited into a bustling, populous, creative and invigorated scene.

Calling upon artists, creative agencies, and students as the new voices of change, the ground breaking prize asks entrants to be inspired by art’s capacity for urban renewal and to embrace the new world of art technologies within their entries. The Prize encourages entry in all mediums of art including new technologies. This includes, but is not limited to painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, 3D modeling, animation, digital imaging, film,video, interactive media, motion graphics, photography, light and sound.
Open to all forms of interpretation the art prize allows entrants to also consider how technological development is instrumental in revitalising the future of art and how it can revitalise our urban landscape.

The New World Art Prize winner will receive a $10,000 residency grant to further their art practice and foster excellence in their chosen field.
