Prize Sponsors

Open 2024 is proud to announce the prize sponsors for this year's exhibition.

In addition to the annual Attenborough prizes which are selected by a panel of independent judges, the following organisations and businesses have offered a selection of generous prizes. The sponsors’ prizes cover all the age categories and range from family theatre tickets and gift vouchers to solo exhibition opportunities and mentoring sessions designed to develop new talent. We are delighted to have each of these organisations on board to add this exciting aspect to the show. Sponsors select their favourite pieces, and each winning artist receives a certificate in addition to their prize at the Open’s preview evening for artists and their families.
