On Wednesday 5 November 2025, the finalists of the eleventh edition of the Luxembourg Art Prize were unveiled.

The Luxembourg Art Prize is an annual international artistic prize organised by the Pinacothèque, a private museum located in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Every year the Prize aims to discover talents, amateur or professional, regardless of age and nationality.

Since it was created in 2015, the Luxembourg Art Prize has aimed to launch or boost the careers of artists at the international level by giving them a sound reference to add to their curriculum vitae.

Each year, 24 finalists are selected by the museum and three laureates are designated by an independent jury. The prize money is allocated as follows: €20,000 for first place, €10,000 for second place and €5,000 for third place.
