The 17 finalists were selected from over 1000 artists by a panel of four members of CBP, this year, Susan Absolon (the winner of the 2021 prize), Deb Covell, Paul Newman and Casper White.

"The stated aim of Contemporary British Painting is to explore and promote current painting. The subtext to this is giving voice back to the artist, the originator and source of painting. The real discourse around current painting is generated painter to painter and emanates from the studio and not from the boardrooms of institutions, directors’ offices, lecture halls or galleries. This prize is artists submitting themselves to consideration and selection by their peers." Simon Carter, co-founder of Contemporary British Painting and lead selector of the CBP Prize 2018.

The finalists were selected from over 1000 artists by a panel of four members of Contemporary British Painting, this year the judges were Susan Absolon (the winner of the 2021 prize), Deb Covell, Paul Newman and Casper White. A catalogue featuring the works of all the shortlisted artists will accompany the exhibition.
