Mathematical Art Exhibition Prize

This prize "for aesthetically pleasing works that combine mathematics and art" was established in 2008 through an endowment provided by an anonymous donor who wishes to acknowledge those whose works demonstrate the beauty and elegance of mathematics expressed in a visual art form.  The exhibition takes place every January at the Joint Mathematics Meetings.  First (US$500), second (US$300), and third place (US$200) prizes will be awarded annually.
