The Jerwood Moving Image Awards is a major new prize for artists working in digital moving art, launched by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
The awards have been set up to celebrate and support artists in the early stages of their careers, bringing some of today's most exciting talent in digital art to new audiences, via both this website and an exhibition at the Jerwood Space. The awards encompass a wide range of artistic practice - from film, documentary, video and music to dance, installation and drawing.
The Jerwood Charitable Foundation is dedicated to imaginative and responsible funding, with a particular remit to support talented artists in the early stages of their careers. The organisation already runs a number of prizes and awards across several disciplines - and in particular in the visual arts disciplines of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and applied arts, under the banner of Jerwood Visual Arts.
Closing date was 08.00 on Monday 3 December 2007
These new awards will celebrate and reward artists in the early stages of their careers working in digital moving image. An independent panel of judges will undertake a rigorous and artistically focussed selection process, leading to up to 30 pieces of work being presented on a dedicated website. A shortlist of work by up to eight artists will be exhibited at the Jerwood Space in London in 2008. Three winners will be selected from the shortlist, with each being awarded a prize of £10,000.
There will be a public vote where people will be invited to vote on their choice of work. The winner of this public vote will be featured on the website. No prize will be awarded.
