The Burlington Contemporary Writing Prize, awarded annually, seeks to discover talented young writers on contemporary art, with the winner receiving £1000 and the opportunity to publish a review of a contemporary art exhibition in The Burlington Magazine.

Since its founding in 1903, The Burlington Magazine has always considered the art of the present to be just as worthy of study as the art of the past. The Burlington Contemporary Writing Prize advances the Magazine’s commitment to the study of contemporary art by encouraging aspiring young writers to engage critically with its forms and ideas. The Prize also promotes clear, concise and well-structured writing that is able to navigate complicated territory without recourse to complicated language.

Submissions will be assessed by a panel of judges from The Burlington Magazine and specialists in contemporary art.

Each applicant will be offered a specially reduced online subscription to The Burlington Magazine, providing digital access to all the latest articles and reviews.

Submission requirements

• Applicants must submit one unpublished review of a contemporary art exhibition of no more than 1000 words in length.
• ‘Contemporary’ is defined as work produced in the last 10 years.
• All submissions must be written in English (although the art considered may be international).
• If possible, low-resolution digital images should be sent to illustrate the review.
• The submitted review should be emailed as a Word document to editorial@burlington.org.uk.
• Applicants must be no older than 30 years of age (proof of age may be required).
• The applicant’s name, age, country of residence and occupation must be clearly stated in the application email.
• We suggest applicants carefully read recent Burlington reviews of contemporary exhibitions for guidance.

Deadline for 2013 Prize

The deadline for submissions is Thursday 31st January 2013.

The Prize winner will be announced in April 2013.

See here a clipping from last night’s London Evening Standard:

After 32 years at the Burlington, the 110-year-old magazine for art collectors, Kate Trevelyan, wife of veteran broadcaster Robert Kee, stepped down as managing director on Friday with a farewell party at Brooks’s Club. Kate thanked former editor Neil MacGregor, now director of the British Museum, and ex-chairman Sir Nicholas Goodison, “whose steady hands guided us wisely”.

Kate, the daughter of former British ambassador Lord [Humphrey] Trevelyan, added: “As my father always used to say, ‘you are only as good as those who work with you’.” What a diplomat.

Call for Papers

The Art Press in the Twentieth Century

A one-day conference on the mediation of art history, criticism and the art market in magazines and journals organised by The Burlington Magazine and Sotheby’s Institute of Art on 1st February 2013

The Burlington Magazine is one of Britain’s oldest monthly art-historical publications. Founded in 1903 by a group of art writers that included Robert Dell, Roger Fry, Bernard Berenson and Herbert Horne, its aim was to cover all aspects of the fine and decorative arts, to combine scholarship with critical insight and to treat the art of the present with the same seriousness as the art of the past.

Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London was founded by Sotheby’s auction house in 1969. It is now an independent not-for-profit institute and offers six MA programmes across a range of visual art disciplines and art business, together with semester and summer courses. These are validated by the University of Manchester with whom there is also a joint PhD programme. Research and teaching at Sotheby’s Institute focuses on the art work and its context within the framework of the art world and market.

The aim of the joint conference is to explore how the international press, via art-historical writing and criticism in magazines and journals, has intersected with the reception and understanding of art, collecting, the art market and the teaching of art history.

Preference will be given to submissions based on art publications from the twentieth century, although proposals outside of this time period will be considered.

Topics for discussion may include but are not limited to:

• History of individual journals
• Current state of the art press/digital media
• How the art press has facilitated and documented changing patterns and transnational connections
• How journals have shaped the foundation of the discipline of art history
• The influence of the art press on current educational programmes in museums
• The critic/dealer system
• Audience and reception of art magazines and journals
• How the art press has interacted with museums, reflecting, criticising or influencing their acquisition policy
• Female journalists and art periodicals
• Artists as critics
• Artists’ magazines

Papers should be no longer than 20 minutes. Please send proposals of no more than 250 words by 30th September 2012 to Anne Blood (conference@burlington.org.uk).

Registration fee: £25 – Students £10 – no registration fee for speakers
