The 2025 Ivan Juritz Prize is now closed.

The Ivan Juritz Prize was established in 2014 to celebrate the creative explosion of the modernist era and reward art that seeks to ‘make it new’. The prize is a collaboration between the Hub for Modern Literature and Culture at King’s College London and Mahler & LeWitt Studios in Spoleto, Italy.

Postgraduate students in Europe from traditional academic disciplines or creative courses are invited to submit texts, films, musical compositions, virtual documentation of artwork, excerpts of moving image work and proposals for installation and performance. Entrants are encouraged to play with form to make us think, feel and question.

Winners in three categories (Text, Sound and Visual Arts) receive £1,000 each and a joint two-week artist residency, including travel expenses, at Mahler & LeWitt Studios, a unique environment for developing new ideas and artistic collaborations.

Shortlisted works are showcased at the prize-giving ceremony at King’s College London and featured in Textual Practice or Granta.

The 2025 prize is judged by artist Mandy El-Sayegh, composer Sadie Harrison, and poet and novelist Katharine Kilalea.

The next deadline for submissions will be announced in autumn 2025.
