The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Arts and Space (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture) established an award for new contemporary arts in 2018, aimed at mid-career artists active in Japan whose work, including work developed overseas, inspires expectations of potential for even greater achievements.
In addition to prize money, the award provides winners with ongoing support for activities, including support for overseas activities in the next fiscal year and the exhibition of award-winning works and the artists’ achievements at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, in the year after that. The two winners will be determined through a combination of recommendations by the international selection committee, public invitation, and research, document screenings, interviews, etc., by the international selection committee.
