The world’s only international prize for live art
Established in 2014, The ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art, is presented annually at ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival, Kuopio, Finland. The prize is generously supported by the Saastamoinen Foundation.
An award of 30,000 euros makes the world's only international prize for Live Art one of the richest cultural prizes in the arts. The winning artist receives a cash prize of 15,000 euros and the same amount in production support for bringing a new work to the ANTI Festival the following year.
In 2019 we launched Shortlist LIVE! supported by the Kone Foundation. The programme brings a live work from each shortlisted artist to ANTI Festival, where an international jury selects its winner.
The nominees for the 2023 ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art are: Tiziano Cruz (Argentina), Autumn Knight (United States), Jota Mombaça (Brazil) and Joshua Serafin (Philippines/Belgium).
