Today, VerticalCrypto Art (VCA) announces its partnership with The Lumen Prize. This partnership will seek to offer The Lumen Prize long listed artists the possibility of becoming residents of the VCA Residency Program. 

The Lumen Prize celebrates the very best art created with technology through a global competition. Since it's launch in 2012, it has awarded more than US$100,000 in prize money and created opportunities worldwide for the artists who have been longlisted, shortlisted or won Lumen Awards. Lumen is run by Lumen Art Projects, a UK-based digital arts champion.

As a community partner of The Lumen Prize, VerticalCrypto Art is excited to be partnering with one of such a long standing institution, who has been fostering the digital art ecosystem for over a decade. 

The VCA Residency Program is a 12 week ongoing online educational program, founded in 2021, who’s mission is to democratize access to knowledge by providing free educational programs to artists and creators in the fields of Crypto Art, NFTs and Web3 art. 

We’re thrilled to be able to share our educational efforts and resources with the long listed artists of The Lumen Prize and foster the importance of education and community together. 

Applications for The Lumen Prize are now open, to apply follow this link.
