FREE ENTRY / V&A - Jameel Prize 7

The Jameel Prize is the V&A's international award for contemporary art and design inspired by Islamic tradition.

The Jameel Prize was established by the V&A in 2009 and is run with the support of Art Jameel. The Prize is worth £25,000 and is open to practitioners from any ethnic, religious or cultural background.

Jameel Prize 7 is a thematic edition, dedicated to moving image and new media work.

The open call for applications runs from 3 September – 15 October 2023. Once the call has closed, a group of finalists will be selected by a jury. An exhibition of their work will open at the V&A in London in 2024, and will then tour to another location in the UK, and to Hayy Jameel in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 2025.

A winner will be selected from the finalists based on the strength of the work shown in the exhibition.
