the marŝarto awards for exceptional walking art

The Marŝarto Awards recognise exceptional walking art. The Awards culminate in October, coinciding with Walktober, the global call to promote walking as a creative experience. Winners walk away with a cash prize of up to 1000 euros.

Any walking piece created during the previous or current year, and submitted to the walk · listen · create website, is eligible. So, for the Marŝarto Awards 2024, work created in 2023 and 2024 is eligible.

Sound walks are not eligible. For these fine works, we host the Sound Walk September Awards. Work can include a variety of formats, approaches, and subjects, from a wide range of creative disciplines, including arts, heritage and history, health and wellbeing, social practices, journalism, performance, literature and theatre, ecology, tourism, and more.
