Awards are those lenses that can create landmark points of reference in the global world of art. www.aliceawards.com	The Alice Awards-Artistic Landmarks In Contemporary Experience-is a worldwide award in contemporary art designed to recognize landmark artistic achievements and changes across the industry as a whole.
The Alice Awards has some unusual twists. For one, it has a global and industry-wide dimension with 50+ categories and it is egalitarian: artists, curators, art writers, museums, exhibitions/biennials, publications/art magazines, and private galleries can participate through an open and democratic Internet application process. The reward is also remarkable in terms of being juried by the Global Board of Contemporary Art, which consists of a 100+ Executive Member body of interdisciplinary experts and intellectuals drawn from across the globe, and Associate Members who are former Alice Award Winners, Nominees and other contemporary art professionals. Spurred by the breakdown of traditional categories and the emergence of new strategies and media in the visual arts (visual art performance, installation art, video and multi-media art ) the 1st annual Alice Awards today announces its call for entries with 50+ fields into seven categories: Artists, Curators, Art Writers, Museums, Exhibitions/ Biennials, Publications/Art Magazines, and Private Galleries.  Online application starts today and runs through July 3, 2011 at the website www.aliceawards.com/en/enter_now
