THEMED COMPETITIon


This year we have two themed art competitions with the 1st prize of £30.00 of picturesque vouchers and the 2nd Prize of £20.00 of picturesque vouchers.

The first theme was 'Water' which was held in March, and 'Shakespeare' which will close on 6th June for the 13th June meeting.  You can start sending these themed pieces to Sarah now, but be sure to make it clear that they are for the 'Water' or 'Shakespeare' themed competitions!

2024 MONTHLY  COMPETITION RULES


Following on from the success and popularity of last year's competition, there will be one prize of £30 of Picturesque vouchers each month to the artist whose artwork comes first place.


To enter, please submit work by emailing Sarah Miles at: smiles-art@outlook.com

You must remember to attach the image, and tell Sarah the title, the medium, and the dimensions of the piece.  Please also advise Sarah whether it is for the Monthly Competition or the Themed Competition.


Sarah will load your submissions onto this website. By entering the competition, you are agreeing that the society may use your picture on this website, and the Society's Facebook and Instagram pages.


Three judges from the committee will select five art works each and the overall top 5 artworks will be available for members to vote on.  Members must attend the meeting in person to vote, and because of this, please only enter an artwork if you can bring it to the meeting. If you cannot bring the art work yourself, you must nominate a proxy to take it for you. If the art work is not at the meeting, you forfeit your chance of winning. Art works cannot be re-entered in the following month's competitions. The meeting that it needs to be brought to is listed in the information introducing the next competition. When voting is over, the winner will be shared on this page.


All pictures will be eligible for the President's Prize and are also additional entries into the 2024 Annual Summer Exhibition on the 'Wall of Fame'.


We want more members to enter the competition and for more members to vote, so please do come to meetings and get involved!

May monthly competition is open!
