Landscape Artist Of The Year
£10,000 art prize, 10 new art competitions, older artists bursaries, residencies, art jobs & opportunities...
I can barely paint while a dog’s watching me so who knows how the Landscape Artist of The Year finalists keep it together on camera. Despite the high pressure stakes & £10,000 first prize the show’s a surprisingly wholesome, comforting watch.
Here’s Ophelia Redpath on winning series 6:
Opportunities like these are one in a million and not to be taken lightly, as many years of entering competitions without success have shown me. But now, having the recognition of the judges at LAOTY and the many people whose emails are currently flooding in, I feel so supported. Every response to my work has felt like an engagement with what I am wanting to say.
Entries are now open for Series 8 (free to enter, 14th April 2022 deadline).
