CCA Galleries: Emerging Artist Awards 2026

We’re excited to share an incredible opportunity for artists in our community. To celebrate over 50 years of fine art publishing and championing creative talent, our friends at CCA Galleries have launched the first-ever CCA Emerging Artist Award - a landmark initiative designed to discover and support the next generation of artists.

This award offers emerging and early-career artists a chance to develop their practice with one of the UK’s most respected fine art publishers, alongside the master printmakers at Worton Hall Studios.


Awards & Prizes

Three winners will be selected for cash prizes and the potential to collaborate on a professional fine art print edition:

  • 1st Prize: £2,500 + option to create a published print edition
  • 2nd Prize: £1,500 + option to create a published print edition
  • 3rd Prize: £1,000 + option to create a published print edition

What the Judges Are Looking For

The awards recognise innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship across all visual art forms - from painting and drawing to printmaking, sculpture, film, and design.

A panel of distinguished judges from across the art world will be announced in January 2026.

How to Enter

Artists are invited to submit up to five artworks for consideration by completing the online application form

Once your application is received, CCA Galleries will send a secure link for payment of the entry fee.

  • £20 per artwork (non-refundable)
  • £10 per artwork for full-time students (minimum 20 hours per week, with valid student ID)


The deadline for entries is Friday 16th January 2026.


Why Enter?

This is more than an award - it’s a platform. Winners will gain the opportunity to work with CCA Galleries, Worton Hall Studios and Enter Gallery whose legacy includes collaborations with celebrated artists such as Sir Peter Blake and Bruce McLean.

It’s a rare chance to take your work from studio to publication and to be seen by collectors, publishers, and galleries across the UK.
