Last Updated: June 23, 2022
These Official Rules (“Rules") govern the 2022 Foundwork Artist Prize (“Prize”) and the relationship between you as a participating artist (“you” or “your” or “artist”) and Foundwork, Inc. as the sponsor of the Prize (“Foundwork” or “we” or “our” or “us”). These Rules are considered part of our Terms of Use, so please note that any terms that are used but not defined in these Rules have the same meaning given to them in our Terms of Use. By participating in the Prize and using our website, you agree to these Rules, our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy, so please read them carefully.
The Foundwork Artist Prize
The Prize is an annual merit-based award that we sponsor to recognize and support outstanding practice by contemporary artists.
Honoree and Short-Listed Artists
One (1) artist will be selected as the 2022 honoree (“Honoree”). The Honoree will be awarded an unrestricted ten thousand U.S. dollar (U.S. $10,000) grant (the “Grant”) and a Studio Visit with each of the Jurors (“Studio Visit” is defined in Section 16 of these Rules below).
Three (3) artists will be selected for inclusion on the 2022 Short List (each, a “Shortlisted Artist” and together, “Shortlisted Artists”).
Jury
The Honoree and Shortlisted Artists will be selected by a panel of Jurors (each, a “Juror” and together, the “Jury”) composed of experienced curators, gallerists, artists, or other art professionals invited solely by us, following the selection process described in Section 8 of these Rules below. If any Jurors are not able to participate at any time for any reason, we may, but are not obligated to, include alternate Jurors at our sole discretion.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible, you must:
(1) be an individual who is at least eighteen (18) years old and otherwise able to enter into a binding contract;
(2) not be a resident of any country, state, or province listed in Section 5 of these Rules below regarding geographic restrictions;
(3) not be a Foundwork employee, contractor, or their relative;
(4) be able to use our website and participate in the Prize in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the U.S. and any other applicable jurisdiction;
and
(5) maintain a published artist profile on our website (“Profile”) with at least six (6) published artworks and an artist statement on your Profile page, continuously throughout our 2022 selection period: 5:00 PM PT, September 26, 2022 – 5:00 PM PT, December 31, 2021.
Please note that an artist who has been selected as an Honoree in any past year will not be eligible to be selected as an Honoree or Shortlisted Artist again in 2022 or any other year; and an artist who has been selected as a Shortlisted Artist in any past year will not be eligible to be selected as an Honoree or Shortlisted artist again for three years after the year they were last selected as a Shortlisted Artist. For example, if an artist is selected as a Shortlisted Artist in 2020, they will not be eligible to be selected as an Honoree or a Shortlisted Artist again until 2024. We include these restrictions in order to recognize a variety of artists from year to year and we appreciate your understanding.
Artists who meet the above eligibility criteria will be considered equally, whether an artist has a regular paid membership, is in a free trial period, or has any other complimentary or discounted membership (as applicable). Artists are otherwise eligible regardless of age, race, creed, color, religion, country of origin, gender, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, ancestry, disability, or veteran status. The Prize is void where prohibited by law and participation is not allowed in such jurisdictions.
Geographic Restrictions
Subject to the eligibility criteria described in Section 4 above, artists residing in any location around the world are eligible for the 2022 Prize, except for artists who reside in any country that is embargoed by the U.S. or in any of the following countries, states, or provinces, all of whom are not eligible: Argentina; Arizona (U.S. State); Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Cuba; Iran; Kosovo; Latvia; Macedonia; North Korea; Quebec (Canadian Province); Russia; Saudi Arabia; Serbia; Sudan; Syria; and the United Arab Emirates. These geographic restrictions are for regulatory reasons beyond our control and we appreciate your understanding.
Selection Criteria and Decisions
The Honoree and Shortlisted Artists will be selected on the basis of artistic merit, which we define as demonstrating a critical engagement with, and making a distinctive contribution to, one’s chosen media. Artwork in any media is eligible to be considered, and any artwork, artist statement, and other information which an artist publishes on our website may be considered during the selection process.
Please note that all decisions made by us or the Jury regarding artist and artwork evaluation, finalist, Honoree, and Shortlisted Artist selection, and any other subject matter related to the Prize will be absolute, final, and binding. We and the Jury will not be obligated to provide reasons for any such decisions or to communicate with you or others about the merits of any such decisions at any time.
Communicating by Email
We will send you any notices related to the Prize by email sent to the email address associated with your Foundwork account at the time that we contact you. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have a current and valid email address associated with your account at all times. We will not be responsible for any automatic filtering (such as spam filters) that you or your email service provider may apply to any email we send you. Accordingly, please check and make sure that you are able to receive email sent from our support@foundwork.art email address.
Selection and Confirmation Process
The selection period for the Prize will be 5:00 PM PT, September 26, 2022 – 5:00 PM PT, December 31, 2022.
The selection process will take place during the selection period as follows:
Our staff will review all eligible artists, select fifty (50) finalists, and provide the list of finalists to the Jury (please note that we have the right, but no obligation, to share the names of finalists with you or others at any time).
The Jury will review the finalists, select one (1) provisional Honoree and three (3) provisional Shortlisted Artists, and notify us of those selections.
We will notify the provisional Honoree and provisional Shortlisted Artists individually by email that they have been selected (“Provisional Notice”).
In order to be confirmed as the Honoree or as a Shortlisted Artist, an artist must: (i) reply to our Provisional Notice by reply email within seven (7) calendar days after we send it; and (ii) provide us with documentation of their postal address and any other information that we may request to verify eligibility, as required or permitted by law; otherwise, that artist may be disqualified at our sole discretion and the Jury may select another provisional Honoree or Shortlisted Artist from the remaining finalists, who will then be subject to the same notice and confirmation process.
If an artist responds to our Provisional Notice within the required time and we determine they are otherwise eligible, we will send them a second notice by email to confirm them as the Honoree or as a Shortlisted Artist, as applicable (“Confirmation Notice”).
An artist may be required to accept and sign a written affirmation of eligibility and a publicity release before being confirmed as the Honoree or as a Shortlisted Artist, as required or permitted by law, and we will provide any such forms along with our Provisional Notice.
Preparing Your Artwork to be Reviewed
The first six (6) artworks published in your Profile on our website (i.e. the first six works appearing at the top of your Profile page) will be reviewed during the selection process. You are welcome to publish additional works in your Profile if you wish, and artists are generally welcome to publish as many works as they wish on our website. If you do choose to publish more than six (6) works in your Profile, we and the Jury may, but are not obligated to, review any additional works at our and each Juror’s discretion, as applicable.
You can publish works in your Profile by using the artist content management system built into our website (we refer to this as “CMS”). You can change the order of works in your Profile by going to the “Works” section in CMS and dragging and dropping your works to the desired order. You can also enter written notes about a work in the “Additional Information” field when you add or edit a work in CMS, but please note that due to the overall volume of artwork to be reviewed for the Prize, we cannot guarantee that such notes will be reviewed during the selection process. For additional instructions on how to share your work on our website, please see our FAQ.
Please note that for artwork that you may wish to have reviewed as video (such as video, performance, or animation work), due to the overall volume of artwork to be reviewed for the Prize, the first three (3) minutes of any video you publish in your Profile will be reviewed for each applicable work, and we and the Jury may, but are not obligated to, review more of such video at our and each Juror’s discretion, as applicable. Please see our FAQ for instructions on how to share video content on our website.
Artist Statements
Each artist is required to publish an artist statement in their Profile on our website in order to be eligible for the Prize. Please note that due to the overall volume of material to be reviewed during the selection process, we and the Jury may choose to review only the first two hundred and fifty (250) words of your artist statement at our and each Juror’s discretion, as applicable. You can publish your artist statement on our website by going to the “Artist Statement” section in CMS and then adding, editing, and saving your artist statement text.
CV Information
You are not required to publish your CV information on our website to be considered for the Prize. If you do choose to publish your CV information in your Profile, we and the Jury may, but are not obligated to, refer to such information to further inform the review of your practice, as applicable. You can publish your CV information on our website by going to the “CV” section in CMS and then adding, editing, and saving your CV text.
No Additional Submissions
Please note that any artwork submissions or other materials sent to us by email, postal mail, or otherwise will not be considered or returned and may be discarded at our sole discretion without any obligation to you. Accordingly, please do not send us any additional materials.
Announcing the Honoree and Short-Listed Artists
Announcing the Honoree and Short-Listed Artists We will endeavor to confirm and publicly announce the Honoree and Shortlisted Artists by January 31, 2023, unless the selection process or other administration related to the Prize takes longer, in which case we will endeavor to make such announcement as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Once the Honoree and Shortlisted Artists are confirmed, we may announce them publicly on our website and through social media, email, and any other media, at any time at our sole discretion.
Grant
We will issue the Grant to the Honoree by check or bank transfer within thirty (30) days after the Honoree is confirmed and has been publicly announced by us. The Grant is intended as funding to support the Honoree’s artistic practice, whether directly or indirectly, and the Honoree may use the Grant for any lawful purposes.
The Honoree is solely responsible for determining and paying all personal income taxes and any other taxes or levies that may apply to the Grant. We make no representations or warranties about any such taxes or levies and the Honoree should obtain their own tax advice as applicable.
Costs and Expenses
You are solely responsible for all costs and expenses that you may incur in connection with the Prize or the use of our website, including any costs for art supplies, computers, phones, or other devices, and network or Internet service.
Studio Visits
The Honoree will receive a Studio Visit with each of the Jurors. For purposes of these Rules, a “Studio Visit” means a meeting between the Honoree and a Juror, held in person at the Honoree’s studio or held remotely by video conference, as decided in each case by the applicable Juror. We will introduce the Honoree to each Juror by email within thirty (30) days after the Honoree is publicly announced, and the Honoree and each Juror may then schedule and conduct a Studio Visit at their mutual convenience. Please note that the final decision as to the date and duration of each Studio Visit, whether each Studio Visit will be held in person or remotely by video conference, and (if applicable) what type of video conference service will be used (e.g. Zoom), will be made at each Juror’s sole discretion, and we will not be involved in or responsible for any such decisions. The Honoree will be solely responsible for any costs they may incur in connection with any Studio Visit, including the cost of any video conference service used for remote meetings. We are not able to provide travel stipends to Jurors and we appreciate your understanding.
Dialogues Interviews
The Honoree and Shortlisted Artists will each be featured in an interview as part of our Dialogues program. Each interviewer will be chosen and invited solely by us, and we will endeavor to schedule and publish each of these interviews within one (1) year after we publicly announce the Honoree and Shortlisted Artists, subject to the availability of interviewers and artists.

Regardless of any other statement made in these Rules or elsewhere (whether orally, in writing, on our website, or otherwise), we expressly reserve the right to take any or all of the following actions, at our sole discretion, at any time before or after the Honoree or Shortlisted Artists are confirmed or announced, for any reason, including if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with any law, rule, or regulation, or if we become aware of any activity that in our sole discretion would affect the integrity or conduct of the Prize: (1) to determine or deny eligibility to, or to disqualify, you or anyone else from participating in the Prize or being selected or confirmed as the Honoree or a Shortlisted Artist; (2) to change or postpone any or all applicable dates and timelines related to the Prize, including the selection period or the dates on which any announcements are made or prizes are awarded; and (3) to change or terminate the Prize or selection process in whole or part.

Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
We provide our website on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without any warranties of any kind (whether express or implied). We and our officers, owners, directors, agents, and employees (collectively, “Foundwork Parties”) also make no warranties of any kind (whether express or implied) regarding the conduct of any Juror or other third party in connection with the Prize, and no statement made by us, you, or any Juror or other third party (whether orally, in writing, on our website, or elsewhere) will be considered any such warranty or assumption of liability by Foundwork Parties. Neither Foundwork Parties nor any Juror will be responsible for any loss of access or Content on or in connection with our website, whatever the cause, that in any way affects your eligibility or participation in the Prize.
To the full extent permitted by law, under no circumstances will any Foundwork Parties or any Juror be liable for any claims (whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected), losses, or damages of any kind, including any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, any personal or bodily injury or emotional distress, or any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, that arise out of or relate to: (1) the Prize; (2) your eligibility or ineligibility for, or disqualification from, the Prize; (3) your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) our website, including any inability to access or use our website due to any technical error or interruption of service; or (4) any act, error, or omission (whether in person, online, or otherwise at any location) of any Foundwork Parties, any Juror, or any other third party arising out of or in connection with the Prize.
To the full extent permitted by law, the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability described above in this Section 20 will apply to all claims, whether based on warranty, contract, statute, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, whether or not Foundwork Parties have been advised of the possibility of the damage or loss at issue. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or limitation of liability for certain damages, so some of the above disclaimers or limitations may not apply to you, in which case the liability of Foundwork Parties will be limited to the full extent permitted by law.
Under no circumstances will Foundwork Parties be liable for any failure to perform under these Rules due to any cause beyond our reasonable control. Please see our Terms of Use for additional warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
Dispute Resolution
The Prize and the relationship between you and Foundwork will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and by U.S. federal law. As these Rules are part of our Terms of Use, all claims, causes of action, or disputes arising out of or related to these Rules, the Prize, or our website will be subject to our Terms of Use, including Section 11 which contains a provision requiring that disputes be resolved by binding individual arbitration.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or exclusive relationship is created or implied by these Rules or any activity related to the Prize. We will not be the employer or agent of any Juror for any purpose, nor will any Juror be our agent for any purpose. However, each Juror and all Foundwork Parties (as defined in Section 20 above) will be third-party beneficiaries of these Rules with respect to any of these Rules where Jurors or Foundwork Parties are mentioned, including Section 20 regarding the disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability. Except as described in the previous sentence, these Rules will not create any legal rights for any person or entity other than you or us.
