The Moth Art Prize

The Moth Art Prize is awarded annually by The Moth magazine to a body of figurative or representational artwork. It is open to anyone (over 16) from anywhere in the world. The Prize consists of €1,000 plus a two-week stay at The Moth Retreat in rural Ireland.

The prize is judged by the publishers of The Moth, Rebecca O’Connor and Will Govan, alongside their colleague Helen Sharp. They are looking for two-dimensional portraiture, figurative or other representational work of any size – work that ‘takes courage’ and is in tune with the aesthetic of The Moth, contemporary but timeless.
