The Szpilman Award is an annual art prize. It is awarded to works that exist only for a moment or a short period of time. The purpose of the award is to promote such works whose forms consist of ephemeral situations.〔Nunez-Fernandez, Lupe: ("Mahony at Austrian Cultural Forum" ) ''Saatchi Online'', 9 May 2007.〕 It was first presented in 2003 and is still the only award for ephemeral works worldwide. The prize is open for the public. ==Background== The ''Szpilman Award'' is initiated, financed and organized by German-based art group ''Szpilman''. It was founded in 2003.〔Weber, Grit: Szpilman Award, ''art kaleidoscope'', page 23, January 2009.〕 Initially only people from Germany could apply. Regulations were changed in 2004 and opened the call for Europe. The public interest in the prize raised. In 2006 ''Szpilman'' abolished any restrictions: everyone from all over the world〔("Who participates in the Szpilman Award? " ) ''Szpilman Award: Information'', viewed: 12 January 2009.〕 can apply now for the ''Szpilman Award''. The winner is chosen by a panel of up to 10 independent judges including the winner of the previous year. The prize is accompanied with a dynamic cash award (sum of money collected by members of the jury parallel to the competition, called "Jackpot Stipendium"), a trip to Cimochowizna (Poland), and a challenge cup whichwill be handed over to the next prize winner in the subsequent year.〔Vvoi: ("Szpilman Award: carpe diem, one ephemeral step at a time" ) ''New Art'' blog, 16 May 2007.〕 Since 2008 the ''Szpilman Award'' is also running a daily bulletin about ephemeral works, called (Potz!Blitz!Szpilman! )〔"In love with ephemeral" Sleek Magazine No.22, page 94, September 2009.〕 To make ephemeral works more public and to show a greater variety of possibilities members of ''Szpilman Award'' curate exhibitions since 2006 in cities all around the world, called (Szpilman Award Shows ), e.g. in galleries, museums and public spaces in (Austria ), (Germany ), (Greenland ), (Israel ), (Italy ), (Switzerland ), (The Netherlands ) and (Turkey ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Szpilman Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
