Award for outstanding positions in contemporary paper art.

For as long as paper has existed, people have had a fascination and emotional connection to this material. Fragility

and strength at the same time. A basis for a line to be drawn, or a working material in its own. From the creative idea

to the artistic process to the brutal transition of the aggregate state: The possibilities are endless.

No other material in art is as sensuous, in-the-moment, and versatile as paper.

Let us build it a house. And let us honor it with an award.

"Hahnemühle paper inspires artists all over the world. We are now pooling our expertise as a manufacturer of the finest media with two strong partners. Together with the international camera and printer manufacturer Canon and the Hahnemühle Certified Studio d'mage Berlin, we are launching a new excellence award in Berlin's international art scene. Paper in its diverse, yet unique form will be the central element of the competition. We are excited and looking forward to this international project.

"There is an immense difference between a digital image seen on the monitor and a photo printout made on high quality paper: The paper image is alive, it can be touched, tells you a story, and is the creative base for the message in the image. A print is therefore significantly more than the sum of image and paper. The PAPER ART AWARD reflects exactly that. After the Canon printing workshop and Paper Residency!, we now look forward to opening the next exciting chapter together with d’mage and Hahnemühle.

A picture printed on paper is

something wonderful.
