Competition Categories

Discover six categories for visionary creators in VR, AI, digital film, and sustainable art.

2ND EDITION · ANNUAL THEME

SECOND NATURE

When the digital becomes our second nature, what kind of nature will we create?

We now live in two natures at once. One is made of forests, oceans and a warming climate. The other is made of code, networks and intelligent machines, and it has quietly become second nature to us. The 2nd Fortune Art Awards invites artists to explore where these two worlds meet: how technology can help us understand, repair and re-imagine the living planet, and what remains essentially human when machines can see, speak and create.

Second Nature is this year’s spirit, not a rule. Works on any subject are welcome in all six categories.
