One of the activities that has become central to the Society is the annual 'Artbook prize' run in collaboration with Thames & Hudson Publishers. The process of selecting the prize winners is a great opportunity for members to engage with the work of "new" graduates as well as introduce "old" graduates and the Society to a new generation of artists and designers.

Benjamin Beker was the winner of ArtSway Open 08. For his exhibition at ArtSway, Beker will exhibit his War and Liberation Monuments and Interiors of Power series. These two bodies of work were attempts to ‘de-historicise’ various Serbian monuments and interiors, removing them from their usual context.
