​New Emergence Art was founded in 2020 to give artists from all backgrounds a platform where their work is valued and celebrated. 

With awards worth over £3,900, The New Emergence Art Prize 2025 is open to artists worldwide.

There is no set theme, and we welcome all media.

As an artist-run, online prize with independent judging, we champion emerging and underrepresented artists with meaningful recognition and lasting visibility.

All shortlisted artists will be permanently featured in our online gallery, which can be found on The New Emergence Art website.

This allows visitors to find your work and links directly to artist's websites or portfolios.

This year’s awards are as follows:

• £1,000 Main Award

• NG Art Creative Residency: Emerging Artist Award (2 week residency in Provence, France)

• The Staedtler Award (£350+ worth of Staedtler products)

• The Daler-Rowney Prize (£250 worth of Daler-Rowney materials)

• The New Emergence Art Founder’s Prize (£150)

• The GreatArt Prize (£150 worth of GreatArt materials)

Our judging panel features 3 incredible international artists; Joshua Donkor, Katlego Twala and Felicity Starr.

When selecting the shortlist and winners, our judges consider concept, execution, originality, and impact.​​
