RBA Annual Exhibition 2025
Art Competition
Description
Artists are invited to submit work for exhibition alongside members of the Royal Society of British Artists at the RBA Annual Exhibition 2025
As the newly elected President of the Society, it gives me great pleasure to invite your submissions to the RBA Annual Exhibition 2025, which promises to be a special event in the national art calendar.
This year’s headline award of £10,000 will be divided into two rewards: £5,000 for a work by a non-member, and £5,000 for a work by a member of the RBA.
The exhibition will reflect the eclectic and progressive nature that has always been the hallmark of our Society. In 2024, we selected 200 works from the open call for our show, many of which won prizes and awards.
– Michael Harrison, President
