Jerwood Drawing Prize

The Jerwood Drawing Prize, formerly the Malvern Open Drawing Prize and then the Cheltenham Open Drawing Competition, is the United Kingdom's leading award in contemporary drawing. It is claimed to be the largest and longest running annual open exhibition for drawing in the UK.^[1] It was established by Malvern Drawing Associates in 1991 to promote excellence in contemporary drawing practice and moved to Cheltenham in 1994.^[2][3]

Funded since 2011 by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation and organised by Wimbledon College of Art,^[4] the exhibition is open to entry by all artists resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom. It takes place annually, and includes an exhibition of all the shortlisted drawings at Jerwood Space which then forms a touring exhibition.^[5]

In 2004 approximately 2,000 entries were received.^[6] In 2011 the competition accepted approximately 3,500 entries. A first prize of £6,000 and a second prize of £3,000 were awarded. In addition there were two student awards, each with a £1,000 prize.^[1]
