BKV 2011

I promised to remind a certain artist of this deadline, so here it is… (Jill!)

Entries for the BKV Prize close on the 29th of April. The competition is open to artisans who were 35 or younger at the beginning of the year. Past winners include Laura Deakin (2007) and a 3rd place getter Mirjam Hiller (2008), both of whom I met whilst in Munich earlier this year. Laura is still handing out copies of her catalogue, so it seems to be a pretty handy piece of kit to have on hand to give out to friends and potential gallerists alike!
