The Prize is run by members of CBP – painters just like you.
The prize is only made possible due to the incredible hard work of a small team of volunteers from within our membership, who take time out of their own art practices to manage and organise the prize. Moreover, we could not cover the costs, exhibitor’s fees and prize money without generous additional backing.
In particular, we would like to thank John Talbot, collector of contemporary painting, and Lubaina Himid CBE RA for their continued support.
Prize Summary:
This year we have a prize fund of over £20,000
Prizes Details:
First Prize £8000 + a catalogue essay, an invitation to join Contemporary British Painting, and a selector position for the next CBP Prize.
Highly Commended Award £2000
