The Museum of Avant-garde

About The Awards

The MA-g Awards celebrate outstanding creativity in graphic design, photography, and illustration. Each year, the Museum of Avant-garde invites three renowned and visionary artists—figures who have shaped their disciplines and elevated them on a global scale—to serve as exclusive Judges. The Awards take their name from these artists, making each edition a one-time opportunity to be selected by true pioneers of contemporary visual culture. In 2025, the Museum was honoured to collaborate with:

The 2025 Antana Sutkus MA-g Awards for photography
The 2025 Guy Billout MA-g Awards for illustration
The 2025 Rosmarie Tissi MA-g Awards for graphic design

Winning and shortlisted works are selected for inclusion in the Museum’s contemporary collection and featured both online and in future exhibitions. The MA-g Awards are held annually in spring. The Judges for the 2026 edition will be announced in January 2026. Sign up to receive updates about the Awards and the MA-g contemporary collection.
