The Keller Prize 2025

The Keller Prize was created by Shelly Hamill in honor of her grandmother Jane Keller, a self-taught landscape painter who inspired Hamill to become an artist. The prize encourages submissions from artists of all backgrounds and disciplines, including painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, textile art, installation, mixed media, and other mediums suitable for print media. Audio and video submissions are not accepted.

One grand prize and two runners-up will be selected to be featured in a 2-page advertorial spread in the January 2026 issue of Architectural Digest AD100, distributed to over 53,000 subscribers in the Manhattan, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Los Angeles, and South Florida markets. The judge for 2025 is Libby Selikoff of Vickers Collection in Aspen. All submissions will be displayed in an online gallery on The Keller Prize website and may be featured on Instagram and Facebook.

Eligibility: Artists must be 18 years or older. Entry fee is $50 for 5 images, with an additional $5 per image up to a maximum of 15 images. Applicants must submit name, email, website, Instagram username, and 5-15 images. By submitting, artists agree to allow images to be used in print and online media. Judges' decisions are final, and no refunds will be offered once a submission is accepted. Artists who contact the judge directly will be removed from the online gallery and will forfeit their submission.
