The volumes award is back! Submit your work now to take part in the volumes award 2026.
What was published by artists and independent publishers in 2026? We’d like to highlight and support the production and producers of 2026 with three cash prizes of CHF 500 each. This award is open to all artists and independent publishers worldwide.
Find the application form here and submit your publication by 10th of October 2026.
Requirements:
- Each publisher / artist can only submit one publication

- Each publisher / artist needs to fill out the submission form
- Each submission needs to include a video of max. 3 min length to introduce the publication (in whatever way they would like to do this). The video must be uploaded to Youtube or Vimeo and the link must be sent to volumes by e-mail: hello@volumeszurich.ch.
