The Prix Arts numériques (Digital Arts Prize) is an annual award created in 2025 by the Geneva-based Fondation Etrillard in partnership with the Académie des beaux-arts of the Institut de France.[1][2] The prize recognises a recent work of digital art that “echoes” the disciplines represented at the Académie—painting, sculpture, architecture, engraving and drawing, music, cinema, photography and choreography—and promotes dialogue between tradition and new media.[1]
Overview
Open to artists of any nationality residing in Europe and to collectives, the prize is awarded on the basis of a public call for entries followed by the selection of three finalists and one winner.[1] Eligible works are digital in their creation process (e.g. code, interactive/generative/algorithmic approaches, robotics, internet networks, AR/VR, AI), must have been created between 2021 and 2024, and must have been publicly exhibited at least once.[1][2]
Calendar
For the first edition, applications opened on 4 February 2025 and closed on 30 April 2025; the three finalists were announced on 10 September 2025 and the winner was announced on 22 October 2025, during a ceremony at the Académie des beaux-arts in Paris.[1]
