The City of Amposta Art Biennial (BIAM) is a state-level award organised every two years and endowed with 4.000 euros.

The call is open to all artists living in the Spanish territory. They can submit a maximum of four artworks (free theme and technique), which must be original and unpublished and cannot have been selected or received awards in any other contest. The deadline for submission ends next Sunday, March 29th.

The jury comprises  Marc Navarro ((independent curator), Hiuwai Chu (exhibition curator at MACBA), Oier Etxeberria  (contemporary art area manager at Tabakalera, San Sebastián), Rosa Lleó (director of The Green Parrot, Barcelona) and Miguel Ángel Sánchez (director of the ADN Gallery). The Jurors will be in charge of selecting the artworks that will be featured in the exhibition of the sixteenth BIAM and choose the winning entry.

The BIAM has been evolving over the past fifteen editions (1989-2018) as a powerful showcase of the emerging creation of the country, establishing itself as a true and powerful thermostat of the national artistic activity regarding contemporary creation, as well as measuring the temperature of the different artistic and conceptual orientations that gain prominence in the different creative areas, combining emerging and consolidated artists and agglutinating high-level proposals and well-known names. 

As a key event in the national artistic circuit, the past 15 editions have included artists such as Susy Gómez, Javier Peñafiel, Raquel Friera, Marc Vives, Luis Guerra, Diana Rovira, Xavier Ristol, Pablo Bellot, Rafael G. Bianchi, Nuria Güell, Ian Waelder, Anna Dot and Matteo Guidi, among many others; and critics and curators like David Armengol, Sabel Gavaldón, Gerardo Peral, Amanda Cuesta, Montse Badia, Carles Guerra, David G. Torres, Martí Peran, Manel Clot, Carles Duran, Frederic Montornés, Cèlia del Diego, Oriol Fontdevila, Florenci Guntin, Ferran Barenblit, Juan Canela, Martí Manen, Núria Enguita or Alexandra Laudo.
