The online Women Art Prize/X-treme, initiated by Martina Singer and Lily Fürstenow-Khositashvili aims to promote women in the contemporary art system. Unfortunately, women artists are strongly underrepresented in contemporary art. Therefore, the curators have initiated this international online art competition for women artists, regardless of age, nationality and country of origin.
