RBSA Print Prize 2026

The RBSA Print Prize is part of the Society’s programme of prize exhibitions which give artists whose practices are rooted in a variety of different media and techniques regular opportunities to exhibit their work in the Gallery.

With a significant number of print works held in the RBSA Permanent Collection, print-making forms an important part of the RBSA’s history, and there are many printmakers within its Membership.

Last held in 2024, the RBSA Print Prize celebrates the diversity of printmaking whilst also introducing the public to the myriad of different printing techniques used today, including screenprinting, linocut, monoprint, etching, woodcut, lithography, and dry point. Visitors to previous Print Prizes have been delighted to see the range of approaches on display and this exhibition promises to offer visitors that same exciting experience

Entries for RBSA Prize Exhibitions come from professional and emerging artists based locally, nationally, and internationally, and all entries are judged anonymously.

The following prizes will be awarded:

• First Prize £1000 sponsored by GMC Trust
• Second Prize £500 Anne Judd Award
• Third Prize £250 sponsored by Judd Medical
• Up to six highly commended certificates will also be awarded.
