We launched this prize at the NEXT fair in Chicago last Friday. One entry so far, but we're hoping many others are preparing to submit. One thing that it doesn't mention in the fine print of the Prize details is that I plan on sending dealer and collector friends (and anyone else who I think would appreciate seeing some new art) to specific artists throughout the submission timeline. So, hopefully some artists will feel the benefit of submitting long before the winners are announced. Thanks for posting about the prize Paddy.

So sorry. We collect video and new media so it should be represented in the prize. We are working on changing that as soon as possible. We goofed with not allowing new media and video. So sorry.
