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 2026, the Museum is honoured to collaborate with:
The 2026 Raghu Rai MA-g Awards for photography
The 2026 Malaquías Montoya MA-g Awards for illustration
The 2026 David Hillman 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 actual dates for the call to entry for the 2026 edition will be announced shortly. Sign up to receive updates about the Awards and the MA-g contemporary collection.
