In late April, Converse and Dazed launched a competition to find the best emerging artist, a major new award to offer an exciting platform for new artists to showcase their artwork. The competition was open to creative’s under the age of 35 and promised a cash prize of £6,000 to the winner and a £1,000 for four other artists that would reach the shortlist. Along with that they also won the opportunity to exhibit their artwork at the Stephen Friedman gallery. More after the cut.
