Faith Art Prize

Christian Art has announced the launch of the Faith Art Prize - a major international award celebrating contemporary art in dialogue with faith, prayer and the sacred.

Previously known as the Laudamus Award, the newly rebranded Prize marks an exciting new chapter for Christian Art. With a total prize fund of £30,000, including a £25,000 First Prize generously donated by John J Studzinski CBE, this is one of the most significant opportunities for artists exploring spiritual themes.

Open to artists across the globe and working in all disciplines, the Prize invites bold and original interpretations of faith, sacred narratives, and devotional imagery with no restriction on medium.

Up to 100 shortlisted works will be exhibited at Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Cathedral Hall from 9 -13 November 2026.

The shortlist will be selected by a panel chaired by myself, alongside leading figures from the world of art and culture, including Mario Tavella, Chairman of Sotheby's Europe and contemporary sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green. And you, our valued readers of www.christian.art, will also have your say: readers will be invited to vote for the People's Choice Award, worth £5,000.

The exhibition will take place during a landmark week for sacred art, culminating in the Christian Art Conference 2026 . on 14 November 2026 at the QEII Centre, London.

Whether you are an artist or someone simply passionate about sacred art, we warmly invite you to take part or share this opportunity with others.
