Multi-finalists

First - here is the visualisation for artists selected in 6 or more finalists' exhibitions, followed by a visualisation of those finalists exhibited in 5 or more art prize exhibitions with the names of the exhibitions.

Please note - the list of prizes we used for this data is at the bottom of this window.

There are going to be art prizes which we can't find a list of finalists, so our data is unfortunately not exhaustive. We update the entire list of finalists rather than just individual artists.

A common question is how do we produce the visualisations - we use an application called Neo4j which is a graphDB.

Multi-finalists with Prizes in December 2022

Prizes which have the most multi-finalists

Which prizes have the most multi-finalists who have been in 5 or more other finalist exhibitions this year? The Lethbridge 20k Prize had 19 finalists who have been in 4 or more other prize exhibitions this year. In other words, 19 finalists in the Lethbridge 20k were finalists in at least 4 other prizes in 2022. And 14 finalists in the Gosford Art Prize were finalists in 4 or more other prizes this year, and so on.

This means there are some prizes which happened to select artists that were also selected by a number of other prizes in the same year. It might also indicate that artists cluster around certain prizes like the Lethbridge and the Gosford/Portia Geach etc.
