About the Prize

In the developed world, we take our creative freedom for granted. However, in many societies, political repression, intolerance, ignorance and religious extremism inhibit creative expression, especially for women. Artists play an important role in championing creative, economic and political freedom.

The Freedom to Create Prize celebrates the courage and creativity of artists who use their talents to promote social justice, build social foundations and inspire the human spirit. They are the voices of courage, unity, strength, reconciliation, healing and hope.

The Prize gives artists local and global recognition, inspiring them to use their creativity to transform society. It is open to artists in all creative fields. Each year US$125,000 in prize money is awarded across three categories: the Main Prize, the Youth Prize and the Imprisoned Artist Prize.
