Flourish Award 2014- Call for Entries

If you are a printmaker based in Yorkshire you should consider entering this year's Flourish Award!

The Flourish Award was established in 2009 by West Yorkshire Print Workshop to champion and showcase excellence in printmaking across Yorkshire. The award provides artists and printmakers with the opportunity to exhibit their work in a group exhibition at the WYPW Gallery and, should they win the award, go on to present their own solo print exhibition at Huddersfield Art Gallery in 2015. The winner will also receive free WYPW membership for a year.

To enter the forthcoming Flourish Award printmakers must register online and upload up to three images for selection by our independent panel of judges. The registration deadline is Monday 1st September 2014.

Artists whose work is shortlisted from this process will be invited to include their work in the seven-week long Flourish exhibition held at West Yorkshire Print Workshop, which will run between 27 September and 15 November. During the exhibition our panel of judges will select the winning printmaker- the Flourish Award Printmaker of the Year- and two commended artists.

The winner will receive a year’s free membership for West Yorkshire Print Worksop, as well as the opportunity to plan a solo exhibition at Huddersfield Art Gallery for Spring 2015.

The entry fee for the Flourish Award 2014 is £20.

For members of West Yorkshire Print Workshop or Printmakingonline, entry is £10.
