It’s the last call for entries to the Lancashire Artist of the Year 2024 competition. |
Artists of all abilities can submit a piece of artwork depicting their favourite Lancashire view in spring, summer, autumn or winter.
Artists have until 11.59pm on Wednesday, June 12 to submit their entries. Winning entries will feature in the Lancashire Artist of the Year 2025 calendar, with the proceeds going towards activities for care leavers in Lancashire. All forms of 2D artwork are accepted (excluding photography and all forms of digital media), including paintings, sketches or collages. The artworks submitted must be the entrants’ own original pieces. They should not have previously been published or exhibited. It’s really important that entries are created in a landscape format as any in portrait, will not be accepted. Full eligibility criteria and entry instructions can be found in the terms and conditions. Once the deadline passes, judges will pick their favourites from each season to create a shortlist. The shortlisted artworks will then go to an online public vote. Julie Bell, head of cultural services at Lancashire County Council, said: “We’ve had some wonderful entries so far and there’s still time to enter to be in with the chance of being named Lancashire Artist of the Year for 2024. “Once our judges have picked their favourite artworks from each season, we’ll be putting those through to a public vote.” Image credit: Michael J P / Shutterstock.com |
