Open exclusively to women artists, “the prize – awarded every two years and open to all art forms – aims to encourage and support emerging women artists who live and work in the United Kingdom, which today is one of the centres of the international art scene.”
The prize’s past laureates are: Margaret Salmon, Hannah Rickards, Andrea Büttner, Laure Prouvost, Corin Sworn and Emma Hart.
The prize includes a solo show at London’s Whitechapel gallery and a six-month residency in locations around Italy, followed by an exhibition at the Collezione Maramotti.
