MAD AWARD FOR MEDIA ARTS & DIGITAL FUTURES

The MAD Award for Media Arts & Digital Futures is a one-time international prize launched by Mad Art Agency in 2025.
‍
It was created to spotlight artists, designers, and technologists whose work redefines the boundaries of media, perception, and cultural systems — and shows how art can move, engage, and even sell.

This is not a traditional award. It’s a curatorial gesture — an attempt to frame the aesthetic, emotional, and technological languages emerging right now, with one sharp question in mind:

What happens when art becomes a marketing force?

Participants are invited to submit any project that explores the artistic potential of media — as a tool for connection, storytelling, and cultural influence.
‍
It can be speculative, playful, critical, or commercial — as long as it shows how creative work can shape perception and engage audiences.
