Entries Are Now Being Accepted Online for 2009 Factor Prize

Category: Awards, Grants, Fellowships
Posted by: Gibbes Museum of Art
Deadline: 01/30/09

The Factor Prize, given annually with a cash prize of $10,000, acknowledges an artist whose work contributes to a new understanding of the South. Unlike any other award of its type, the Factor Prize is designed to create an online archive of information about Southern artists that can be used by curators, collectors, academicians, and the public. The prize goes to an artist whose work demonstrates the highest level of artistic achievement in any media. The prize may be awarded to an artist who has already produced a body of significant work or whose work shows considerable promise. Eligible artists are those who reside, work or are from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Virginia. All artists who entered on the Factor Prize website in 2008 (except finalists) are automatically registered for the 2009 award. New nominations are now being accepted through January 30, 2009 at www.factorprize.org.
