The Art and Olfaction Award for Experimental Work with Scent is for artists or other creative or technological practitioners who make unconventional or non-traditional use of scent that takes it out of the domain of traditional perfumery. Projects must have been first made public in 2024. It is part of The Art and Olfaction Awards, a yearly awards mechanism to highlight and celebrate independent perfume and olfactive creation.

The online submission forms close on Dec. 6, 2024, 11:59pm PT.

They require a minimum of 25ml per scent submitted. The deadline for receipt of perfume samples is Dec. 20, 2024, end of day.
