Liverpool Art Prize

A record-breaking 95 nominations. So many great artists, it's going to be difficult for the judges to decide on the shortlist. Judging takes place early February then we announce the shortlist and further details.

Many thanks to all those who took the trouble to nominate artists, we feel that the open nomination process is an essential part of the Liverpool Art Prize event.

About the Liverpool Art Prize
The inaugural Liverpool Art Prize took place in Spring 2008, one of the first major visual art events in the Capital of Culture’s year and the first exhibition to be held at the prestigious new Novas Contemporary Urban Centre. It is now a firmly established part of Liverpool’s annual visual art diary.

It is an annual exhibition and award for artists from or based in the Liverpool City Region.
Created by artinliverpool.com, the Prize has attracted sponsors from the local business community.

The Art Prize awards ceremony on April 22nd 2009 went very well with a large crowd in Venue 1 at CUC and Radio Merseyside reporting the result live on air and interviewing the judges and winners.
