This is a televised competition. Artists enter with a landscape artwork created within the last 5 years. They are selected on merit by our panel of expert judges. At the heats they are given four hours to paint a particular, stunning landscape somewhere in the UK (locations announced closer to the time). Six heat winners get to compete at the Semi-Final. Three Semi-Finalists are selected for the Final. Just one Finalist is selected as the overall winner.
Filming the heats of Landscape Artist of the Year is planned to take place around the UK in Spring/ Summer 2025.

I want to see artworks that celebrate the great, the good, the bad and the ugly of our fabulous landscapes. Landscape in the broadest and most challenging sense. Whether you’re a confident old hand or a tentative beginner, we can’t wait to see what surprises are in store for us.

Landscape painting is a peculiarly British fascination and this country has produced incredibly innovative artists such as Turner and Constable in this discipline. As the competition evolves and we introduce ever more interesting and complex locations, we hope to find artists who will rise to the occasion and emulate those great artists in a fresh and contemporary way.

Landscape painting gives artists a real opportunity to be creative and thoughtful. I’m not looking for something ‘correct’ or ‘accurate,’ rather I want to see a particular scene through someone else’s eyes. I really recommend applying, everyone tells us how much they get out of it.
