Threadneedle Prize: selected artists

The artists selected for The Threadneedle Prize Exhibition have been announced.  The shortlist of those eligible to win the prizes on offer will be announced in July.

I wrote about this prize back in April this year - see Threadneedle - just another art prize in 2010?

Prizes:  The following prizes will be awarded

• The Threadneedle Prize: £25,000
• The Visitors’ Choice: £10,000
• Finalists (6 awarded): each £1,000

If the public vote coincides with the selectors’ vote, one artist wins a total of £35,000, making The Threadneedle Prize potentially the most valuable art competition for a single work of art in the UK.

Exhibition:  The Mall Galleries in London will be hosting the Threadneedle Prize Exhibition between 18 September 2010 - 3 January 2011.

Eligible artists/artwork: The competition is open to artists of all nationalities, aged 18 or over on 1 January 2010, presently living or working in the UK.  Artists could submit a maximum of three works which must have been completed after 1 January 2009.  Works must not have been exhibited in any other prize or competition in the UK or elsewhere.  Acceptable media includes oil, tempera, acrylic, ink, vinyl, watercolour and other dry media and can be on any form of support (canvas, paper, wood, plastic etc).

Works should be based on observation and experience, not on a conceptual or abstract world.  Artists are encouraged to engage, excite and challenge the public on subjects of contemporary and topical significance. Submissions based on the human figure and other major themes are also welcome.
