The Jerwood/Photoworks Awards are a major commissioning opportunity supporting early-career artists working with photography to make new work and significantly develop their practice. They particularly seek to encourage artists exploring new approaches to photography.
Now in their fifth edition, the Awards are for UK-based artists who are between one and ten years into their practice to realise ambitious new works for a national touring exhibition.
Two artists will receive a £15,000 award each with a full package of support from Photoworks to create new work over a 12-month period. This includes:
- £10,000 artist fee
- £5,000 production budget
- Access to a £5,000 printing budget from print partner Spectrum Photographic
- Mentoring support from a high-profile international pool of experts for at least 12-months
- Curatorial support from Photoworks and Jerwood Arts
- A two-person exhibition in London
- A UK touring exhibition
The full value of each award package is £32,000.
The Awards are a collaboration between Jerwood Foundation and Photoworks, supported by Spectrum Photographic. Previous recipients have included Heather Agyepong, Joanne Coates, Silvia Rosi, Theo Simpson, Alejandra Carles-Tolra, Sam Laughlin, Lua Ribeira, Matthew Finn, Joanna Piotrowska and Tereza Zelenkova.
