BRIDGEMAN STUDIO AWARD 2019
Category:
Type:
Eligibility:
Launching on the 4th of October 2019 to celebrate Black History month in the UK and promoting
the Art of Diversity, the international Bridgeman Studio Award is sponsored this
year by Verizon Media.
Now in its 6th year, the Bridgeman Studio Award is the fastest growing contemporary art competition
for artists, illustrators, and fine art photographers.
Our partnership with Verizon Media continues a legacy of previous competitions where
the Bridgeman Studio Award worked with prestigious brands such as the Affordable Art Fair,
HarperCollins and the Wilderness Festival.
This year’s prize: £5,000 cash commission for the design of a limited edition print and tote bag to
be sold online on Artsy and in a London Gallery exhibition in 2020. There are 5 runner-up prizes
worth £500 each. The runners up will also have the opportunity to exhibit their works in the London
exhibition. 50% of the sales of the limited edition prints will go towards the charity Mama Biashara.
The Brief – The Art of Diversity
This year’s brief has been chosen by Verizon Media.The idea of launching an international art competition follows the path of Verizon Media’s Black is the New Black initiative last year.
This year, the United ERG wanted to go further and choose the context of the UK Black History Month to celebrate diversity. Diversity within the black community itself, but also diversity within the different communities living in our cities, or in the many ways we approach life and work.
This competition is also about reminding ourselves of the importance of allies, and how allies can help to make things progress and create more awareness by being advocates of inclusion.
''Championing diversity and inclusion is not only a moral and cultural mission, but also a
business imperative for us here at Verizon Media. We will make better decisions, create
more innovative products and have a more profound impact on society, the more we can
promote diversity and inclusion from within and through compelling partnerships as with the
Bridgeman Studio Award.''
We all have a story and a relationship to diversity and we want to hear it from emerging
artists, through their eyes and their art. Art is, after all, a conversation between a creator and
an audience, and we want to start this conversation. Art influences our emotions and
emotions are impacting behaviour. We want you to create and inspire change through your
art.
So, how do you see and experience diversity in your city?
