Kudos Emerging Awards 2024 EOI

Kudos Emerging Awards seek to recognise and support innovation and talent across all disciplines at UNSW AD in three categories: Emerging Artist and Designer, Emerging Curator and Emerging Writer. 

The annual Kudos Emerging Awards has always featured the most noteworthy local upcoming arts practitioners, and is often the first big step in propelling emerging artists careers to the next level. For audiences, the Kudos Emerging Awards has always been the way to see and support the most exciting upcoming artists before they get big!  

The Kudos Emerging Award is open to all UNSW Arts, Design, & Architecture students across any stage or kind of degree. Entering the Kudos Emerging Awards is free and all are encouraged to apply regardless of their previous experience! Kudos seeks a diverse range of applications, and is always on the look out for fresh ideas and an eager energy! The awards aim to be a stepping stone for the recipient to help build the confidence and skills in providing this exciting professional development opportunity! 

All applications are assessed by the Kudos Committee, with the final online exhibition judged by external industry guest judges who award the major prizes.
