LONDON.- Frieze, the leading magazine for contemporary art and culture, is inviting entries for the Frieze Writer’s Prize 2010.

The judges for 2010 will be philosopher and critic Boris Groys; the writer and novelist A.M. Homes and Jörg Heiser, co‐editor of frieze magazine.

Writers are invited to submit an unpublished 700‐word review in English of a recent contemporary art exhibition. Applicants must be over 18‐years old and must not have had more than three pieces of writing on art published in a newspaper or magazine. The closing date for entries is 25 June 2010 and the winner of the prize will be announced in September.
The winner will be awarded £2,000 and commissioned to write a review for the October issue of frieze.
Jörg Heiser, co‐editor of frieze commented: ‘It’s an honour to share the jury of the Frieze Writer’s Prize with an eminent thinker such as Boris Groys, and A.M. Homes, who is such a fantastic writer and novelist. I think it’ll be both fun and difficult for us: it’s fun because the entries give great insight into emerging critical writing, and difficult because we have to choose a winner, as in previous years it has been surprising how many young talent is out there, deserving international exposure.’
Frieze magazine was set up in 1991. It is published eight times a year and includes essays, reviews and columns by today’s most forward‐thinking writers, artists and curators.
