Awards / Jury Prize, Marte Castellon Art Fair Prize, the International Biennial of Casablanca Prize and the Incubarte Special Prize.

2º. Jury Prize
INCUBARTE will make a selection of art gallery directors, critics and art professionals in order to create an independent Jury. This jury will visit the exhibitions and choose the prizewinning artists. Each member of the Jury will use their own individual and independent criteria, being able to choose more than one winner. One artist can be awarded by more than one member of the Jury.
The exact nature of the prize – consisting of an exhibition proposal, contract of representation, etc. – will be decided by the artist and the gallery director themselves. The list of galleries and art institutions participating in the Festival will be displayed on the INCUBARTE's website as their participation is confirmed. The Festival organizers do not award any direct prize at this stage.

3º. Marte Castellon Art Fair Prize
The prize consists of a selection of artists whose works will be exhibited in Incubarte's booth at the Fair in September 2015, where they will be offered for sale.
