The call for submissions for the 2026 edition opens on 1 February and closes on 1 May. The competition requires the project to be completed within one year of receiving the award. Proposed by Jacki Apple’s sister, Marjorie Bank, along with other collaborators, this award reflects Jacki Apple’s enduring contribution to the New York art scene, celebrating her multidisciplinary career as a writer, educator, and artist.
