约翰·莫尔（上海）当代绘画大奖赛
约翰·莫尔（上海）当代绘画大奖赛 – John Moores （Shanghai）Contemporary Painting Prize – 是
享誉英国50 年的顶级当代艺术比赛——约翰·莫尔当代绘画大奖赛首次在本国之外寻求合作，此
次移师中国，从2010 年开始，将成为国内两年一度的当代绘画艺术盛典。此次合作为中英两国
当代艺术的交流开创了崭新的模式，并将为中国当代艺术学术的规范提供新的范式与文献。
约翰·莫尔（上海）当代绘画大奖赛将秉承英国约翰·莫尔新绘画大奖赛的运作理念和机制，由英
国约翰·莫尔基金会主办，中国上海大学美术学院承办，英国利物浦双年展、中国上海外滩三号
沪申画廊等多家艺术机构一同协办而成。大奖赛将由3 位英方评委与2 位中方评委组成评审委员
会，成为此次大赛学术水准的唯一决策机构，以保证大赛的专业性。大赛将分成两轮评审，首轮
为电子稿评审，次轮为原作评审，全部评审都将匿名进行，以保证大赛的公正性；所有评审过程
都将设定相应的评委投票与打分机制，以保证大赛的民主性；首次上海大奖赛，组委会放弃了对
参赛费的收取，并对所有中国公民开放，以保证大赛的公开性。
大奖赛继承了约翰·莫尔基金会“挖掘、培养、奖励以现代媒材创作当代绘画的艺术家”的宗旨。入
选作品都将进入专业的销售环节，为艺术家的后续发展提供良好的平台。同时，在中国赛区展览
结束后，将选取获奖的优秀作品送展英国沃克美术馆（英国国家美术馆），与英国的获奖入选作

John Moores (Shanghai) Contemporary Painting Prize
The upcoming launch of the John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize in Shanghai, China will mark
the first time the competition has been launched outside of Liverpool, England. This collaboration with
Shanghai, Liverpool’s sister city, will be an exciting move. With a decorated 50-year history, the John
Moores Contemporary Painting Prize is the UK’s best-known painting competition for contemporary
art.
From 2010, the John Moores (Shanghai) Contemporary Painting Prize will be held in China every two
years. The cooperation between the Chinese and British contemporary art worlds will open up a new
model for Chinese contemporary art and create new norms in Chinese academia.
The John Moores (Shanghai) will maintain the British Contemporary Prize’s model and concept,
sponsored by the British John Moores Foundation, co-organized by Shanghai University College of
Fine Arts, Liverpool Biennial, and Shanghai Gallery of Art at Three on the Bund. To ensure the
openness of this competition, there will be no entry fee for any Chinese painter who wishes to
participate in this competition.
Three judges from the UK and two from China will come together to form the Vetting Committee, the
decision-making body for the John Moores (Shanghai) Contemporary Painting Prize.
The submitted artworks will be evaluated by two rounds. The judges will assess artworks based upon
the digital images for the first round, and on the originals for the second round. To ensure the fairness of
the competition, the whole judging process will be anonymous. An appropriate mechanism for judges
voting and scoring will be set to guarantee the democratic nature of this competition.
The John Moores (Shanghai) Contemporary Painting Prize takes the principles of the John Moores
Foundation as “To explore, train, and encourage artists who create contemporary painting by modern
media.” There will be the opportunity for selected works to be profiled, providing a platform for artists.
The short listed works from prize winners in John Moores (Shanghai) will be exhibited in the Walker
Art Gallery, Liverpool, UK alongside the UK prize winners. The exhibition will remain for the period
of the Liverpool Biennial festival to be held September 2010.
John Moores (Shanghai) Contemporary Painting Prize will be launched in March 2010. Artists are
invited to submit their entries from March 20th to June 1st, 2010. For further information, please visit the
John Moores (Shanghai) Contemporary Painting Prize official website www.johnmooreschina.com.
Selected artworks will be shown in the Shanghai Gallery of Art at Three on the Bund from August 12th
to August 30th, 2010 in Shanghai.
