Landscape Artist of the Year Series 12
APPLY BY MONDAY 23rd MARCH 2026
We have some exciting news. Landscape Artist of the Year is introducing a
BRAND NEW FORMAT
For the next series, we’ll select ten artists to take on landscape challenges across the country, returning week after week to create work in new locations. Each episode will see one artist eliminated, giving those who progress the chance to create multiple works and develop their practice over time. More locations mean more time in the pods, greater opportunity to refine your approach, and a fuller chance to show the range and consistency of your work.
If you’re a confident, adaptable artist who enjoys responding to different places, conditions and moods, we’d love to hear from you. If you’d like to take part, please complete the application form, upload examples of your work, and submit a short video.
Applications close on 23rd March.
We wish you the very best of luck!
Wildcards – As part of the show we will still be inviting artists to join us as Wildcards and paint along with the pods, but we won’t be running the Wildcards as a competition. More details on this to come.

Nerine McIntyre: Advice for Artists
What the judges are looking for?
Kathleen
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.
