The Attenborough Prize is an annual prize associated with the Leicester and East Midlands Open Art Competition. It was originally awarded by Richard Attenborough, aiming to celebrate “emerging talent… in visual arts”[1]
The Prize was announced in June 2007 by Lord Attenborough (whose name lends itself to the Prize’s eponym) and the leader of Leicester City Council. The announcement was to coincide with Lord Attenborough’s opening of his personal collection of Picasso Ceramics at the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery (known from 1997 to 2020 as the New Walk Museum and Art Gallery).[2][3]
The Prize was originally awarded by Lord Attenborough to the best contemporary visual artist exhibiting at the City Gallery’s Open 19 Exhibition, in Leicester, England. Lord Attenborough chaired the committee which selected the Prize’s winner from a shortlist of six artists, chosen from over a thousand exhibiting at the Open Exhibition. Since Lord Attenborough's death in 2014 the prize winner has been selected by an invited panel of judges.
Winners of the prize previously received £2000 and a solo exhibition upstairs at The City Gallery, Leicester.[4] Following the closure of the City Gallery in 2010, the open exhibition moved to the New Walk Museum and Art Gallery.[5] Currently (2022) the prize is £1,000.
