OD Art Awards 2025
The OD Art Awards are not just a competition but a space where art becomes a language capable of connecting experiences, emotions, and realities that often remain unseen. We invite you to share your vision, explore the invisible, and be part of this special edition dedicated to mental health.
Art Heals the Invisible
Creativity as a channel for healing, art as a safe space, and expression as a refuge — the OD Art Awards 2025 open their new call under a powerful and timely theme: “Art Heals the Invisible.” This edition invites us to explore a subject of deep sensitivity and relevance: Mental Health.
Central Theme: Mental Health
This year, we are looking for works that speak to the intangible, the vulnerable, the things that are often unseen yet deeply felt. We invite artists to present pieces that inspire, comfort, soothe, liberate, or provoke reflection on themes such as the soul, inner noise, balance, or disorder.
Interpretation is open but must be justified by the artist and approved by the organization. Only original works created specifically for this year’s competition will be accepted.
Awards
First Prize: €1,500
Second Prize: €800
Third Prize: €300
In the event of a tie, the prize will be divided equally.
Format and Dimensions
We accept works in painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and digital art. Maximum size: 110 x 110 cm. If the work exceeds these dimensions, prior communication with the organization is required, and acceptance will depend on available space and safety conditions. Preferably, works should not be signed.
