Northern Futures is a new, annual art & design prize hosted by The Civic.
The prize has been set up to both recognise and reward the best emerging creative talent in the North of England. Each year, Northern Futures will focus on four specialist areas of art and design and for this inaugural year,
2010, the categories selected are:
Fine Art
3D design
Fashion
Film
The prize was open to all artists, designers, and film makers aged between 21–40 born, living or working in the North of England. The winners of each category receive a £1,500 cash prize, whilst the two runners up in each category receive a £250 cash prize. To determine the winners, each of the four categories were independently judged by a panel made up from leading industry champions, this exhibition showcases the prizewinning work from the four categories, and celebrates the diverse creative talent which is Northern Futures.
