28 international art critics and curators will decide in a unique, totally open process, the 50 finalist artists for this year's 40,000 € Celeste Prize 2010 in New York. The prize is the highest international award in contemporary arts with this kind of selection process. Each member of the jury declares online months before the exhibition final in December his or her nominees: the finalist artists are chosen from those with the highest number of preferences. In a second stage, the finalist artists themselves will vote the prize money during the exhibition final.

The prize is open to any person practicing art, whether full or part-time professionals, students and self-taught artists from anywhere in the world. There are no limits for age, sex, experience or qualifications. The prize encourages participation by artists at every level.

Celeste Prize was founded by Steven Music and is organized by an Italian non-profit:
Associazione Culturale L'Albero Celeste
