As part of the enlarged Artists Open Houses (AOH) festival in May, any artist whose name is listed in the 2009 Open Houses brochure is entitled to register for the �Selectors Choice� exhibition. Work by selected artists will be shown in an exhibition at the Regency Town House in Brunswick Square throughout May. Last date for submissions is 26th February.
The exhibition will be part of �House� a curated festival running alongside the Open Houses. It will be given coverage in the AOH brochure and website.� Eligible artists are invited to submit work on the theme of �House� which can be interpreted literally or metaphorically, with the selectors looking for a wide interpretation of the theme.

The Brighton Festival Prize will be awarded by the Brighton Festival director at a special award ceremony during the festival. The winning artist will receive a plaque, �500, and media coverage in The Latest magazine.
Visitbrighton will be sponsoring a Visitors Choice Prize and the winner will be announced at the end of the exhibition. The winning artist�s work will be shown in a dedicated gallery section of the VisitBrighton website throughout the coming year and VisitBrighton will offer the artist other promotional opportunities.
