Call for entries to 25th John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize

LIVERPOOL, UK.- Artists can register for the 25th John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize from 5 November 2007. The show promises to be more of a revelation than ever with conceptual artists Jake and Dinos Chapman taking part as jurors. The Chapman brothers, who work almost exclusively together, came to prominence during the 1990s as part of the generation of so-called YBAs or Young British Artists.

Other judges for the competition are art critic Sacha Craddock and artists Paul Morrison and Graham Crowley, both former John Moores prize-winners. The judging will take place throughout 2008 and will result in an exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery from 20 September 2008 to 4 January 2009, forming a central part of the Liverpool Biennial.
