The Hopper Prize is now accepting entries for our Spring 2021 artist grants.
For this open call, we have increased grant awards to $3,500.
We are offering 2 grants in the amount of $3,500 and 4 grants in the amount of $1,000.

The Hopper Prize was established in order to increase the recognition of artwork created by artists and photographers.

We accept submissions twice a year via an open call.
We are currently accepting submissions for the Spring 2021 grant cycle.

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 55k. 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.
