# The Keller Prize

*Festival • Aspen, CO, United States*

## About

An annual international art competition awarding cash prizes across all mediums.

The Keller Prize is an annual international art competition, founded in 2022, that celebrates artists across all mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Open to artists 18 and older from anywhere in the world, it gives emerging and established artists a platform for recognition and exposure, featuring every submission in an online gallery seen across its website and social media.

Winners are awarded a Grand Prize and two runner-up cash prizes totaling $9,000. The prize was created by artist Shelly Hamill in honor of her grandmother, Jane Keller, a self-taught painter of Texas landscapes.
