Season 13 (2016/17) Grand Jury Award


 

Starting with our 13th season, Manifest launched a new annual cash award of $2500. The Annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize is a seasonal capstone recognition awarded to one work from among all those exhibited on-site at the gallery across the season. The first Grand Jury Prize considered works exhibited at Manifest from late September 2016 through mid-September 2017. Thumbnail images of these works are shared below, along with the winner.

DETAILS OF THE $2,500 SEASON 13 MANIFEST GRAND JURY PRIZE

  • Based on jury scores the highest scoring work from each exhibit of the season has been added to the pool of candidates for this first annual Grand Jury Prize. In some cases more than one work tied as a high scorer in some exhibits. Juries were conducted 'blind' without reference to the artist's personal info, location, or background. Jurors are volunteer experts in art and design from across the United States, including professors, working artists, curators, gallery directors, and others qualified and trusted to provide sound objective judgment of the works provided. Each jury usually consists of at least 5 jurors, and sometimes more than 10. Jury groups are shuffled and changed from exhibit to exhibit, so a pattern does not result. (Learn more about the Manifest jury process here.)

  • These works represent the highest ranking artworks out of roughly 8,453 separate works submitted for consideration across 20 group and 10 solo exhibitions during our 13th season.

  • The Manifest Grand Jury Prize will be re-juried by the same advisors who served across the season, excluding any who may have a conflict of interest. When concluded we anticipate that this will result in 20-30 individuals having scored the works shown below in an effort to determine the winner. Learn more about the Manifest Grand Jury Prize here.
  • At least one work per exhibition is included for consideration. Solo exhibitors are invited to select their preferred work from their exhibition for jury, or may defer to the Director's choice.

  • This Season 13 Grand Jury Prize features a pool of 40 works by 38 artists, representing 30 different exhibitions. All told, season 13 presented 469 works by 279 artists in 41 states and 10 countries. Details on the exhibitions, and all of season 13, can found at this link. The entire season, and all works shown, will be documented in the forthcoming Manifest Exhibition Annual publication by around spring of 2019.

  • We have made this page available so the artists and the public are aware of the contenders, and to serve as a recognition of these artists' works for having received high scores from their respective juries, which given the severity of the competition is an achievement worthy of mention.

  • Thumbnails below may be clicked to see the full image. Most sculptural works also include one or more detail images. Images are provided in chronological order based on the date of exhibition. Sizes are in inches unless otherwise noted.

Note: As of 2021 the name of this award has been revised from the Manifest Grand Jury Prize to the Grand Jury Award in order to clarify and differentiate it from the annual Manifest Prize which is a completely separate submission-based award that also grants $5,000 to one artist.
