The Gilchrist-Fisher Award is a biennial prize established in 1987 and open to all artists under the age of 30 whose work explores the broad theme of Landscape.

Originally instituted as a painting prize, work is now accepted in all media except video and installation.

Previous winners of what the Financial Times has called ‘this remarkable and admirable’ prize include Peter Doig, Alasdair Wallace and Angela Hughes.
