This is the third year of the Figurative Art Prize which were such a success during the last two years.

We contacted forty eight art schools and had nominations of sixty three candidates - (either final year undergraduate or postgraduate students) who submitted examples of their works on CDrom. After the first shortlist, when candidates were invited to present their actual work, the jury selected ten to participate in the forthcoming exhibition.

The four finalists who share the £10,000 prize money are Siro Carraro and Paul Morrison (£3,000 each); joint second prize winners: Ken Watts and Emma Cousin (£2,000 each).

Most of the candidates have not exhibited previously and this is an ideal opportunity therefore to purchase works by up-and-coming artists at the beginning of their career.

The invited artists come from different parts of the UK but they are united in their aspiration to create good and enduring artworks.

In addition to the 2007 shortlisted artists, we shall devote half of the gallery to winners and shortlisted candidates of the 2005 and 2006 Boundary Gallery Prize for Figurative Art competition.
