Calling all artists! Apply for Windsor and Eton painting competition

The En Plein Air (Open Air) Windsor and Eton painting competition will take place on Saturday 30 July inside the grounds of Windsor Castle.

Artists are invited to come and create their own masterpieces within a six-hour timeframe at various locations around the world’s most famous castle.

Following this, an exhibition of their work will be mounted outside on Castle Hill where their work is judged, and the public will get to choose their favourite piece.

The first prize is £1,000 and £500 of art materials. The winning piece will also be presented to Her Majesty The Queen to become part of her collection.

The competition is open to all artists, whether they are professional or amateur. Make sure to register online before the deadline on Friday 22 July.
