Regional art prizes in Germany, specifically in Brandenburg and the Haßberge district, are operating on biennial schedules. In Brandenburg, the state art prize has transitioned to a two-year cycle to focus on strengthening artistic positions. Recent recipients include Maren Strack, Peter Rohn, Gabriele Konsor, and Christa Jeitner.

In the Haßberge district, the Kunstpreis 2027 has opened its application process under the theme ‘Wurzeln und Weite’ (Roots and Expansiveness). The competition is open to professional visual artists from the Mainfranken and Nuremberg metropolitan regions. The prize, which has been awarded biennially since 2016, covers various contemporary media and requires digital submissions by December 31, 2026.
