New York, NY (PRWEB) May 03, 2016 -- Global Fine Art Awards (GFAA) is the first annual award program ever created to recognize the best curated art and design exhibitions and installations around the world.

The judging criteria are innovation and excellence in exhibition design, historical context, educational value, and public appeal.    

Research, Nominating and Judging Process

We are all very proud…(this exhibition) received wide critical acclaim in the press, but this award is the most important testament to the huge impact the exhibition has had.”

Post this

Throughout the year, the Art Research Committee searches to identify the best exhibitions and installations across the globe. The basis for the research and selection of nominees is ongoing and thorough review of over 50 sources of art editorial and critique. More than 200 museums and 1,000 exhibitions are vetted during the process.

In addition to the research-based nominations, GFAA accepts open calls from museums, biennials, fairs, galleries and other art organizations. Individual patrons may nominate their favorite exhibitions as well.

Submissions for the 2016 GFAA awards must be made online here by June 15, 2016.

In August, the Nominating Committee convenes to review the list of all potential nominees, and deliberates to select a proposed slate for the judges.

In September, the Judges review the proposed slate, then make additions and deletions to create the official list of nominees. The 2016 nominees will be announced in early October. The Judges vote for the top contenders in each award category to recognize the award Finalists. A final round of judging and deliberation is done to select the winners- one in each award category.

GFAA will announce the Nominees via international press release, and on the GFAA website, on or before October 10, 2016. Finalists will be announced in November. The winners are announced live at the award ceremony in February, 2017.

The 2015 edition recognized 68 nominees from 19 countries, 42 cities and 5 continents. A total of 28 finalists, and 8 winners were selected by our Judges.

Each year a final award, Youniversal, is determined by online public voting. All nominees are eligible to win this coveted award.
