The Homiens Art Prize awards artists over $12,000 USD annually, which means that it is one of the highest paying art prizes maintained by an independent art gallery that, to protect the artistic integrity of the prize, accepts no sponsorship. We ensure that 100% of the value that we offer in our prizes is received by artists as cash awards. In addition, ownership of all artworks entered remains with the artist. All entrants are free to exhibit and display their artworks elsewhere. Our prize is open to all artists and art forms internationally. Artworks completed in any year are eligible, and there are no theme or size restrictions. We celebrate our chosen artists across our media, exhibiting their art online where it is viewed by artists and collectors throughout the world. Homiens sponsors a platform for artists to network and collaborate, reach a global audience of buyers and collectors, gain institutional validation, and locate opportunities in the professional artistic industries. This round, 3 winning artists and 12 finalists will exhibit with Homiens as part of our seasonal exhibition program. Each winning artist receives an unrestricted cash award of $1,000 USD, may participate in an optional interview, and may request a letter of recommendation from our Jurors. Up to 200 artists per round are highly commended and celebrated across our media (including our website which receives 100,000+ annual visitors, and our extensive mailing list). Each entrant to The Homiens Art Prize receives a certificate which can be used to contribute towards a demonstration of professional participation in the art industry. All entrants may apply to participate in our Meet the Artists initiative, or to become a Homiens Featured Artist. All entrants are considered for exhibition. Entry fee: $30.
