The Seed Award 2026 supports emerging artists and cultural practitioners working in contexts where cultural expression is under pressure. Each year, the Prince Claus Fund awards 100 Seed Awards to practitioners whose work contributes meaningfully to free expression, social and political engagement, structural equity, or environmental sustainability.
As a trust-based grant, the Seed Award provides recipients with €5,000 to invest in the growth of their artistic or cultural practice on their own terms. The award offers space, autonomy, and financial freedom to explore new ideas, experiment, build momentum, and strengthen artistic practice without prescriptive conditions.
