Frieze announced the call for entries to the Emdash Award 2013. The Emdash Award returns to Frieze London for the third consecutive year in 2013 as part of the acclaimed Frieze Projects programme. The award is open to artists living outside of the UK, up to five years from graduating from an undergraduate or postgraduate degree or under 35 years of age. Frieze Projects is a programme of site-specific commisions shown at Frieze London each year. Produced by Frieze Foundation, The Emdash Award is supported by the Emdash Foundation and presented in collaboration with Gasworks.

The recipient of the award will have the unique opportunity to present their work at Frieze London 2013. Additionally, the prize will cover production costs of up to £10,000, an artist’s fee, per diems, travel expenses and a studio residency at Gasworks in London from August to October 2013.

Andrea Dibelius of the Emdash Foundation said of the award: ‘I am very much looking forward to the award in its third year. Previous winners have produced thought-provoking projects that demonstrate serious talent. Frieze London provides the perfect platform for the Emdash Foundation’s aim to nurture creativity at an international level.’

Entrance to the award is by open submission and the winner will be selected by an international panel of artists and curators. The closing date for applications is 16 January 2013. The winner of the award will be announced in May 2013.

Proposals for work can take the form of site-specific installations; performance; film; video or print work. Applicants will be judged on the innovative nature of their proposal and its suitability for realisation at Frieze London.
