About the prize

The John Moores Painting Prize is held in partnership between National Museums Liverpool and the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition Trust. The prize remains true to its founding principles: to support artists and to bring to Liverpool the best contemporary painting from across the UK.

The John Moores Painting Prize is open to all painters in the UK. Works are selected anonymously from an open submission by the independent jury, who also award the main prizes. The prize continues to honour the principles of open submission and democratic selection.
