Eligibility:

The Hopper Prize is now accepting entries for our Spring 2025 artist grants.
We are offering $3,500 and $1,000 grants to artists and photographers around the world.
The Hopper Prize was established in order to increase the recognition of artwork created by artists and photographers. Our aim is to advance artists' careers by providing them with unrestricted financial support that is coupled with a platform for increased visibility. We accept submissions twice a year via an open call.
We are currently accepting submissions for the Spring 2025 grant cycle.

6 artists from our open call will each receive an unrestricted cash grant.
2 artists will win $3,500 and 4 artists will win $1,000.

Grant awards are unrestricted and may be used any way the recipients choose.
When submitting your work, you will have the option to opt-in to be considered for possible Instagram features on our feed @hopperprize, where we currently reach an audience of over 145k. Our editors will be featuring select submissions on a rolling basis prior to the application deadline.
In addition to grant awards, our shortlist, and Instagram reach, we will be providing an additional platform for exposure via our online Journal Insights Into Contemporary Art (https://hopperprize.org/journal/). We launched this digital publication to give artists a new channel to amplify their voice while providing an in-depth look at their work, practice, and background. Grant recipients and shortlisted artists will all receive the opportunity to publish an interview to include any work of their choosing as a means of providing continued support beyond the open call.

The Hopper Prize is open to all artists aged 18 and older working in any media. There are no restrictions on genre, subject matter, or media. We welcome entries in all media.
