The BADA Art Prize 2025 is open for all artists

The internationally recognized British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA) is pleased to announce the return of the BADA Art Prize for its fifth edition. This prize celebrates “the antiques of tomorrow” by awarding a £1,000 grant to an emerging contemporary artist whose work reflects the enduring creativity and craftsmanship embodied in the objects our members represent. Applicants may submit artworks in any medium. A panel of industry professionals—including internationally acclaimed artists, art critics, and curators—will select the finalists. The finalists’ works will be exhibited to the public at the BADA Art Prize reception on 13 November 2025 at David Messum Fine Art in London, UK.
