Internet The Homiens Art Prize
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: July 31, 2025 – 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.
ELIGIBILITY
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.
JURY
The Jurors will be Director of Homiens, Kita Das, and Ol James, PhD. All entries are reviewed blind.
Kita Das (BFA COFA) researches transnational creative practice at UNSW where she is completing a PhD. She has exhibited work at leading galleries, worked at prominent museums, and is the Co-Art Director of The Letter Review. Her skills as both practicing artist and researcher coalesce in her desire to assist artists internationally to participate in a democratized, egalitarian, and accessible professional art industry.
Ol James, PhD. is the current Co-Art Director of The Letter Review, holds a PhD from UNSW, is a casual academic, and has guest lectured at UNSW.
