Feb 17 - 2015 Young Artists Competition Invites Entries
The Young Artists Competition will be held this month, with the closing date for receipt of entries Friday 20th February 2015. The competition is open to Gibraltarians and residents of Gibraltar attending school in years 9 to 13 (or College equivalent), as well as to young Gibraltarian artists aged up to 24 years old as at 2nd March 2015. Works must be original and not previously entered competitively, with the exception of non-winning entries in the 2014 Spring Art Competition and 2014 International Art Competition.
Artists will be able to enter more works than previous years, as well as unframed artworks. This will enable more young artists to take part in the competition with more works but without the expense of framing. Artists may submit a maximum of three artworks and two sculptures. All entries will be exhibited at the John Mackintosh Hall from the 3rd to 13th March 2015.
Prizes include a first prize of £1,000 and a second prize, sponsored by AquaGib, of £500. Additionally, there will be awards of £500 each, kindly donated by the Alwani Foundation, for the best entry in age groups School years 9 – 11 and 12 – 13.
Entry forms can be collected from Bayside, Westside the College, the Fine Arts Gallery, the John Mackintosh Hall or via email. Entries may be handed in at the John Mackintosh Hall from Wednesday 18th February 2015 from 3.30pm to 6pm.
