2015 The Artist for Artists
Project's Williams Prize in Drawing
for Emerging Artists
Call for
Artists - Deadline: March 31, 2015
The Williams Prize in Drawing
for Emerging Artists is a celebration of drawing
as a critical element in contemporary art making and as an art form with powerful
expressive possibilities. The prize was designed to provide a venue
through which emerging artists can share, on a national stage,
both their unique visions and their drawing skills.
The Williams
Prize in Drawing for Emerging Artists is designed for applicants who
are creating 2D drawings with either traditional methods, or more
experimental contemporary approaches and materials, excepting
digitally created or enhanced art. Drawing media that are encouraged
include, but are not limited to, chalk, charcoal, Conté, graphite,
marker, metal-point, pastel, pen & ink, and pencil. There is no
theme that must be suggested by the artist, but all art must be original
and completed independently within the past 2 years (i.e. 2013-present).
Entry Fee:
An entry
fee of $35 is non-refundable.* Entrants may submit between 1 and 10
drawings, including detail images. The entry fee must accompany your submissions
through CaFÉ and can be paid only by credit card, or pre-paid credit
card.
The Awards:
First
Prize: $1000
Juror’s
Choice Awards: 10 awards, $200 each
In
addition, finalists from the top 50 portfolios submitted will be
selected by the juror and invited to participate in the Juror’s Second Review. During the
Juror’s Second Review, the juror will choose the eleven prize-winners
and the finalists who will be included in “The 2015 Winners’ Catalog.”
All eleven prize-winners and the finalists chosen for the 2015 Winners’ Catalog
will be announced after
the juror’s Second Review has been completed. (To view our 2014
