Converse/Dazed with The Whitechapel about to emerge

The exhibition is up - and I think Freire Barnes did an incredible job on the install. For some glimpses of the show which is open until October 23 look here. I really support and admire all five artists in the shortlist (the winner will be announced tonight): Gabriele Beveridge, Ellie Harrison, Bruce Ingram, Sam Levack and Jennifer Lewandowski, Richard Parry (the latter whose image is above).

Converse Dazed Emerging Art Award

Dazed Converse Art Prize is now open for entries.

I'm on the judging panel and am really passionate about it. There isn't any prize around for younger British artists. The aim is to bring attention to artists after they graduate when they havent got a gallery but want to get their work out there. It's really difficult and many fall by the wayside.

To enter you need to be under 35, based in UK and unrepresented. The winner get £6000 and four runners up get £1000 each. There will be a group show for all winners at Stephen Friedman gallery in the summer. Entries close May 1 - click above to enter and spread the word.
