Submissions for the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award 2015 are now open, according to the New York University Abu Dhabi Institute.
Now in its third year, the arts award is open to UAE residents and full-time students who are currently in higher education or have graduated within the past five years.

The winner will receive US$5,000 (Dh18,364) and an extra $15,000, which will be used to fund a touring solo exhibition of the winning work.
The winner will also be awarded $10,000 by Christo at the end of the touring exhibition, to fund any future artistic projects.
