The MAC International Arts Prize
Overview
A substantial prize of £20,000 will be awarded to one artist deemed to have made an outstanding contribution to the exhibition. This is the largest art prize in Ireland and one of the few major prizes in the UK.
The exhibition, which runs across all three MAC galleries, will offer you the very best in contemporary visual art across all art forms including sculpture, painting, photography, film, installation and performance. Submissions are open to professional artists working in any country internationally. However, those in full or part-time study at undergraduate level are not eligible to enter at this time.
A jury of respected international curators will whittle down thousands of entries this year to the final shortlist of exhibiting artists. The winner of the £20k prize will be announced on 27 October 2016 at the MAC.
There is a £20 submission fee for all applications.
Who is eligible to apply?
Professional artists working in any country internationally.
