about the WW SOLO Award
The WW SOLO Award is an annual structured opportunity, created to provide support, development and exposure for a contemporary artist of any age, working in any medium. With a focus that stretches further than new graduates, the SOLO award recognises that artists can be producing exciting work at any age and any stage of their career. We deliberately distance ourselves from unhelpful and limiting tags such as 'young' and 'emerging', but welcome submissions from anyone aged 18 - 108.
