Eligibility

Submissions will open on the 17th February 2025.

We welcome submissions from UK-based emerging or early career artists (aged 21 or above, with no upper age limit) who are within the first 7 years of their practice.

Other criteria:

  • Be based in the UK, including UK nationals and those with the right to work or study here, with a current UK address;
  • Aged 21 or above, with no upper age limit;
  • Not have participated in New Contemporaries previously;
  • Collaborative, Collective or Duo applications are eligible, but this must be clear from the outset of your submission, with all members meeting the other criteria listed here.

Artists can apply if they self-define as ‘emerging’ or ‘early career’, if they feel that they would benefit from inclusion in New Contemporaries’ programme and meet the criteria above.
