For the 2021 Prize all works must be submitted online through Ruth Borchard Collection Zealous portal. In 2008, Ruth Borchard Collection established a national Self-Portrait Prize. To maintain the ethos of the Original Collection the prize is open to all artists. In addition to a winner being awarded the £10,000 Ruth Borchard Prize a longlist of works will gain international exposure through inclusion in our dedicated virtual gallery. A selection of works will be acquired for the Next Generation Collection and further shortlist of works included in a second exhibition.
Works must be a self-portrait of the artist. This is the only condition for entering the Prize.
Artists of all backgrounds and from any location are invited to enter. All variations of work – figurative or abstract, alone or in a group, from life or from memory – will be accepted.
There are no restrictions of size of work and we welcome a wide variety of medium, including but not restricted to; painting, drawing, digital art, photography, sculpture, tapestry and ceramics.
Awards:- £10,000 Ruth Borchard Prize
