Qatar Museums Authority and Fondazione Prada launch a global curating prize.

Curate is a global competition organized by Qatar Museums Authority and Fondazione Prada to find new curating talent.

Curate opens up and challenges people’s ideas of what an exhibition can be. It will provide one winner with the unprecedented opportunity to curate the exhibition of their dreams.

A world-renowned jury will judge ideas on their creativity and social significance, rewarding those with a contemporary and culturally relevant point of view.

Twenty finalists will be selected by the Jury, and will be showcased on the Curate website. The winner will be announced in spring 2014.

The jury is Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, Chairperson, Qatar Museums Authority; Miuccia Prada, President, Fondazione Prada; Rem Koolhaas, architect, urban theorist, OMA/AMO founder; Nadine Labaki, Lebanese filmmaker and actress; Nawal El Moutawakel, the first woman from a Muslim-majority country to win an Olympic gold medal; and Hans Ulrich Obrist, co-director, Serpentine Gallery, London.
