The Finnish National Gallery is hosting an open generative art competition Combine24. Participants are asked to create a new generative artwork that innovatively uses the copyright-free, CC0-licensed collection data of the Finnish National Gallery in its implementation as well as blockchain technology.

The competition is judged in two parts. From the initial submissions in March-May ten shortlisted works will be announced in August to compete for the three prizes (€10,000; €8,000; €5,000) and to be part of the competition exhibition, held in Helsinki in the autumn of 2024.

Read the competition brief, rules and conditions, and the evaluation criteria, browse National Gallery’s collection, and find metadata for API to access them in machine-readable format at the competition website.

A webinar related to the competition will be organised on Friday, 1 March 2024.
