This edition of the prize incorporates a year like no other: 2020. Accordingly, the title - Living Memory - acknowledges the period's seismic events.
The extraordinary times come with extra support for our artistic community. The exhibition will:
feature significantly more finalist works than usual;
include a supporting payment for every finalist;
run for longer (31 July – 7 November 2021); and
in addition to the usual suite of prizes, include mentorship opportunities awarded to selected finalists to support career aspirations.
