Wales International Young Artist Award to be held in Cardiff 13 November 2013 Last updated at 15:24 By Huw Thomas BBC Wales arts and media correspondent A new award for young artists will be presented at a ceremony in Cardiff on Wednesday evening. The Wales International Young Artist Award (WIYAA) is run by the British Council Wales, and judged by some of the country's leading art experts. As well as a £500 prize, the winning artist's work will be displayed at some of the British Council's network of offices around the world. The five-strong shortlist ranges from photography to ceramics. The nature of the showcase will depend on the medium of the winning artwork. In order to compete, artists must have been born in Wales, or be resident here, and aged between 17 and 25. There artists on the inaugural WIYAA shortlist are: Eugene Finnegan (photography) Eluned Glyn (ceramics) Andrew Morris (photography) Richard Pask (film) Georgia Skye (sculpture). The entries were submitted earlier this year, while the winner will be selected when the works are displayed at an event in Cardiff later on Wednesday. A panel of three judges will pick the winning work: Hannah Firth, the director of visual arts at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff; the Welsh artist Marc Rees; and the curator Karen MacKinnon. Simon Dancey, the director of British Council Wales said: "Through this award, we will tap into a wide network of Wales's finest young artists and help open doors for the most talented to develop professionally and creatively, while making lasting international connections that will inform their work for years to come. Giving these artists an opportunity to exhibit their work not just in Wales, but internationally, will be invaluable for them at this stage in their careers and lives, and I'm delighted that we will have a crucial part in making that happen.
