Henki Art Prize

Free to enter and open to all artists around the world

The Henki Art Prize aims to create an accessible platform, recognize artists, and promote the development of art by exploring the relationship between artists and the element of water in their artwork.

Theme

Liquid Time: Capturing the Present

In a rapidly changing world, how do we record the present? How do we encapsulate the fleeting moments that define our current existence? As the inaugural event of the Henki Art Prize, we invite artists this year to explore the concept of time through the lens of water. Through their artwork, participants are encouraged to reflect on how we can preserve the immediacy of now, creating a visual dialogue that speaks to the ephemeral yet profound nature of our current experiences.

Eligibility

Submitted artwork must be related to the theme ‘Liquid Time: Capturing the Present.’
Submitted artwork must be related to the element of water, which includes but is not limited to the ocean, ice, steam, all forms of water, and any liquids formed by water, such as drinks, tears, and blood.
All forms of two-dimensional artwork are accepted, with no size restrictions.
Artists from all over the world are welcome to enter.
All entries must be original and solely created by the artist. A maximum of one original work created within the past five years may be submitted.
