The Homiens Art Prize is a premier international opportunity for artists awarding over $12,000 USD in unrestricted funding annually. Designed to be an outstanding catalyst for professional growth, our non-acquisitive prize ensures that artists retain full ownership of their work.

Whether you are an emerging artist seeking a definitive career launchpad or an established professional, the Homiens Art Prize represents a meritocratic and prestigious gateway to significant industry recognition.

Eligibility:

Open to all art forms and artists internationally. Works completed in any year are eligible.

Prizes:

10 winning artists will exhibit with Homiens as part of our seasonal exhibition program. Each winning artist receives an honorarium of $300 USD, may participate in our optional artist interview series The Art of Art: Interviews, and may request a letter of recommendation from our jurors.

Furthermore, up to 200 highly commended artists are celebrated each round across our media (including the Homiens website which receives 100,000+ annual visitors, and our extensive mailing list).

Each entrant to the Homiens Art Prize may request a participation certificate which can be used to contribute towards a demonstration of professional artistic engagement.

Further Initiatives:

Our prize additionally offers international visibility through exciting features like our curated Meet the Artists initiative and Promoted Artists program. Entry Fee: There is a $30 USD fee to enter 1 artwork, and a $20 USD fee to enter each additional artwork thereafter.

The 6th & 12th entries are free. In alignment with our belief in a democratic art industry, we offer a limited number of free, with no questions asked, submissions per round.

Please note that if this financial accessibility option is no longer visible on our Submittable portal, the allocation for the current round has been exhausted.
