Imke Folkerts Prize for Fine Arts
The Imke Folkerts Prize for Fine Arts is an art prize that is open to the fields of painting, drawing, graphics, photography and sculpture. The categories of room installations, video art and performances are excluded. Applicants from all over the world can apply with one work each, which must be for sale and is subject to certain size restrictions. The prize is awarded every two years in the East Frisian fishing village Greetsiel as part of the Greetsieler Week , which has been held every summer since 1970 . It is endowed with 10,000 euros .
The jury consists of representatives from museums, gallery owners, artists and collectors. In an online preliminary procedure, it decides on a shortlist of works that are requested in the original and included in an exhibition. The jury decides on the winner (s) based on the originals. She can share the price at her own discretion, but should do so in particular to honor a young artist up to the age of thirty.
The prize is donated by David F. Folkerts-Landau , who named it after his grandmother.
More than 250 artists from across Germany took part in the fifth award of the art prize in 2011.
