Pax Art Awards 2025

11 - 14 Sep 2025

Art Foundation Pax has been awarding the Pax Art Awards annually since 2018 in collaboration with HEK. In giving these awards, the foundation is both honoring and promoting Swiss media artists who use media technology in their work or reflect its impact.
In making the awards, Art Foundation Pax is drawing attention to digital art in Switzerland. The prizes, which it awards in collaboration with HEK, serve to promote both established and emerging Swiss media artists. In addition to the main prize (CHF 30,000) and two sponsorship prizes (CHF 15,000 each), since 2024 two young talents from Swiss art colleges are also being supported by a young talent sponsorship prize (CHF 1,000 each). In 2025, the art colleges EDHEA (School of Design and University of Art) based in Sierre in Valais and the ZHdK (Zürich University of the Arts) will be partners.

Art Foundation Pax is a cultural commitment by the cooperative social insurance company Pax.
