The Homiens Art Prize

The Homiens Art Prize is an international, non-acquisitive art prize open to artists of all ages, nationalities, abilities and stages of career. Submissions from artists working in any media are encouraged. We consider all art forms and practices equal, and are excited to welcome artworks on any theme, and without any size restrictions.

The Homiens Art Prize exists to recognise and celebrate talented artists. Homiens aims to lower barriers to entering the global art market, and exists to foster egalitarian, accessible and democratic support for artists. In line with this mission, the Homiens Art Prize and exhibition take place online, accompanied by a beautifully produced catalogue. The exclusively online format of our Prize allows Homiens to offer significantly lower submission fees than comparable awarding bodies, and also ensures equal opportunity for all artists, removing the expectation that artists who enter will pay to transport and protect their work.

All entrants to the Homiens Art Prize can access Jurors’ feedback, and are considered for exhibition by Homiens.

In recognition of the outstanding talent evident in the entries we receive, up to sixty (60) artists are Longlisted on the Homiens website.

At least eighteen (18) Shortlisted artists:

• Are listed on the Homiens website.
