CALL FOR ENTRIES - Now Available!
The Royal Watercolour Society are the new sponsors of the largest prize for watercolour painting. The competition, now in its 22nd year, is one of the only remaining prizes to celebrate the diversity and beauty of the frequently undervalued medium of watercolour. The RWS / Sunday Times Watercolour Competition is a celebration of the water-soluble medium, whether it is an abstract, figurative or landscape piece, all works produced in water based mediums, watercolour, acrylic and gouache on a paper support are eligible.
The RWS / Sunday Times Watercolour Competition offers the highest valued prizes in the United Kingdom by awarding a total of £22,500 to artists who demonstrate a high level of skill and creativity. Artists can submit up to three works at regional venues throughout the UK. Entry is £15 per work or free to full-time students.
Successful entries will be exhibited at Bankside Gallery, London in September 2009.
During the exhibition two workshops will be held at the gallery on Sunday 13th and 20th September, and there will also be evening talks on Wednesday 9th and 16th September.
