Since its inception in Spain in 2019, the “Art on Climate” competition has evolved from a regional project into a significant global movement. Over the past seven years, it has become a powerful platform for creators worldwide to express the urgency of environmental stewardship.

As we move forward, the competition continues to expand its reach across the Asia-Pacific region, bringing together professional and emerging talents to use their creative voices for climate action.

The Nomad Art Prize is an international award for the visual arts celebrating the dialogue between artistic creation and the places that inspire it. Founded on the belief that art is by its very nature nomadic — capable of crossing borders, cultures and contexts — the prize aims to discover 8 artists whose work embodies this spirit of movement.
Each edition takes place in a different city, creating a shifting geography of contemporary art. For 2026, Lisbon — with its layered history, maritime heritage and vibrant creative scene — is both backdrop and muse.
Theme
In "Nomad Art Prize" the artists are invited to explore displacement, travel and the tension between roots and movement.
