The MAC International is a major new arts competition and exhibition open to every professional artist throughout the world.

It aims to present the very best of contemporary visual art practice across all disciplines including sculpture, painting, photography, film, audio, installation and performance art.

The exhibition is open to professional artists working in any country internationally, however, those in full or part-time study at undergraduate level are not eligible to apply.

Following the submission of applications, a shortlist of artists for exhibition will be selected by the jury, and one substantial prize of £20,000 will be awarded to an artist deemed to have made an outstanding contribution to the exhibition.

Deadline for Submissions: 30 April 2014

The MAC International exhibition will run at the MAC in Belfast from 30th October 2014 to 18th January
