New York, NY (PRWEB) May 02, 2017 -- Art organizations and individuals are invited to submit nominations for these and all categories of the Global Fine Art Awards (GFAA) program, now through June 10, 2017. To qualify for 2017 awards, the exhibition or installation must begin between August 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017.

As Co-Chair of our new GFAA Awards announcement event, I am very pleased to announce our partnership with CHANEL Fine Jewellery London.

Post this

GFAA President and CEO Judy Holm states, "I am particularly excited about this year's two new award categories - Global Planet and Global Humanity. They exemplify our program's objectives to continue to raise awareness about the importance of art and amplify its voice around the world."

The new awards are similar to the existing awards, with an important distinction. In addition to reviewing curated exhibitions, the GFAA committee and judges will consider recognizing an individual working in any field of art best exemplifying the four existing criteria for GFAA- and based on how the nominated work or individual excels in conservation of art or the planet (Global Planet Award), or in communicating the importance of benevolence in humanity (Global Humanity Award).

The Global Humanity Award Committee is Chaired by Stefano Rabolli Pansera, Founder of Beyond Entropy, and Director at Hauser & Wirth in London The Global Planet Committee Chair is Holly Baxter, Art Advisor and Chief Curator for the Human Rights Foundation.

Preparing for the launch event of the new awards in partnership with CHANEL Fine Jewellery London, GFAA’s Executive Committee member, and Chair of the Global Art Liaison Committee, Ekaterina Luki says, " I am honored to be part of the GFAA Executive Committee and Co-Chair our New Award event in partnership with CHANEL. Creating this partnership with such a well-established brand emphasizes the growing global recognition of the importance of the GFAA program."

About the GFAA Program

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 research and judging criteria are innovation and excellence in exhibition design, historical context, educational value, and public appeal. This year is the fourth edition.

Art Research Process
Throughout the year, the GFAA 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 2,000 exhibitions are vetted during the process.

Open Call 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 as well.

Submissions for the 2017 GFAA awards are made online
Deadline: June 10, 2017. Fee: $180 per submission.

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

In September, the Judges review the proposed slate, then make additions and deletions to create the official list of nominees. The 2017 nominees will be announced in early October. The Judges first vote for the top contenders in each award category to select 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 in October 2017. Finalists will be announced by early November. The Winners are announced live in NYC at the award ceremony in February 2018.
