This innovative and diverse exhibition provides a unique opportunity for emerging artists at a particular stage in their development, between student and recognised artist. The exhibition supports imaginative and vibrant practice in contemporary painting by encouraging young artists during what can be their most creative period. Each of the participating artists, who must have graduated since 2000, receives an equal share of £30,000 to support them at this critical point in their careers. This fee is unusual to other prizes as it rewards every artist in the show.
The selectors, Paul Huxley RA, Callum Innes and Vanessa Jackson who are well respected artists themselvesi, have an extensive knowledge of contemporary painting and painters. In their selection, the panel aim to demonstrate the breadth of painting practice in the UK and to promote works that challenge notions of style and direction.
