**The submission process**

Proposals should describe focused, idea-driven, original group exhibitions. No biographical info, CVs, links, or images will be accepted. Submissions cannot exceed 500 words and submitted in English. Jurors rate proposals based on their personal interest, cultural assessment, content and communicating the idea, See examples of winning proposals here.

**The selection process**

Rather than convene a 5-person NYC panel to review hundreds of ideas, **apexart**’s crowd-sourced voting system involves hundreds of jurors from more than 75 countries to review proposals on their own schedule. The jury is composed of more than 600 individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and international locations including students from 20 participating university classes who will rate the proposals. Proposals are anonymous and randomized to ensure each submission receives equal consideration resulting in more than 20,000 votes or almost 500 proposals. **apexart** staff does not influence the results of the jury in any way.

**The results**

Each of the five winning proposals receives an exhibition budget of $10,000; our exhibition brochure, printed and mailed to over six thousand international recipients; and be part of **apexart**’s 2025-2026 exhibition season. **apexart** provides full admin and logistics support, assisting curators to realize their original ideas into **apexart** exhibitions. Exhibition curators must work within the funding provided to transform their winning proposals into focused, noteworthy exhibitions.
