The Académie des beaux-Arts (Fine Arts Academy), french learned society, is pleased to announce the 2019 edition of the Mario-Avati-Académie des beaux-arts Printmaking Award. The Award was created in 2013 under the auspices of the Académie des beaux-arts to pay tribute to printmaker Mario Avati, thanks to a Helen and Mario Avati donation and CAF America partnership.

Its purpose shall be to provide encouragement to artists who practice the various techniques of printmaking and who, by the quality of their work, advance the art of printmaking to which Mario Avati devoted his life. The 40,000 US$ annual prize rewards the work of a confirmed artist of any nationality using traditional printmaking techniques such as intaglio, woodcut, lithography, serigraphy and monotype.

The competition takes place in two steps : sending a dematerialized file until July 31, then, in case of preselection, sending original works.

The prize rules and the registration form are available on our website:
