About This Exhibition
The RBSA Print Prize is a biennial exhibition, celebrating all forms of print making, which supports artists from across the UK and further afield. With a significant number of print works held in the RBSA Collection, print making is firmly intertwined with the history of the RBSA and many current Members and Associates work primarily in this media.
With both contemporary and traditional techniques and approaches on display, including screen printing, linocut, monoprint, etching, woodcut, lithography, and dry point, the exhibition is a wonderfully diverse show championing a medium that is often overshadowed by others.
The following prizes will be awarded:
First prize £1000
Second prize £500
Third prize £250
Student prize £250
There is also an editorial prize to be awarded by Printmaking Today as well as up to six Highly Commended certificates
All types of original prints may be entered. This includes original digital prints, but these must be an original work made using digital technology, rather than a digital copy of hand-made work. They must also be editioned.
Selection for the Print Prize is by digital image of the original artwork only. All works entered go through the same selection process. No artists, including Members & Associates of the RBSA, are automatically selected.
This year’s exhibition will be selected by:
- Ros Ford – painter and printmaker, member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, London, RWA Academician
- Jenny Mason-Gunning – specialist printmaker at Ironbridge Printmakers
- Laura J. Onions – lecturer in Fine Art at Wolverhampton School of Art, specialising in printmaking
