The City of Weilburg is announcing the 2026 Weilburg Art Prize to promote the visual arts (supported by the Mainz Science Foundation). Eligible works include paintings (e.g., oil, acrylic, watercolor, mixed media). A jury (to be announced after this publication’s deadline) will make a preliminary selection; only the selected artists will then submit their original works. All finalist works will be exhibited in the “Kleines Kabinett” at the Weilburg Mining and City Museum.
Female artists from Germany and from Weilburg’s sister cities are eligible to participate, with no age or subject restrictions. Submissions are accepted exclusively in the field of painting.
The art prize is worth 2,500 €. No separate exhibition or production fee is provided. The prize money is paid out to the winner.
Please note: A registration fee of 10 € is required to apply.
