Valenium Prize 2023
Valenium NFT Art Prize 2023
Combining our involvement in the crypto space with our long-term patronage of the arts, we announced the launch of the world’s first NFT Art Prize in January 2023 to emphasise the link between art and technology by supporting artists who, in their own way, revolutionize the world of art. The call for applications for this first edition, incorporating the theme “Orient meets Occident,” proved to be a success, attracting over 140 applications.
We announced the winner in June 2023 at the Non-Fungible Conference. An exhibition was organized to present the artwork of the winner and of the nine nominees at the Valenium Artists’ Villa in Lisbon.
“Marjan Moghaddam’s work explores the boundaries of digital and physical reality through her signature Glitch Intaleqi aesthetic.”
