DEADLINE: Monday 18 January 2016

The Royal Watercolour Society invites Birkbeck College students to enter their annual open competition.

All full time art students are able to enter this competition free of charge.  Please email info@banksidegallery.com with a scan/photo of your student ID and we will respond with your free entry code.

The Royal Watercolour Society’s annual Contemporary Watercolour Competition encourages innovation and experimentation in all water-based media and provides a platform for both established and emerging artists.  This is the UK’s only major watercolour competition open to international artists.

The judges are looking for pieces that push at the boundaries of watercolour, promote water-based media at its most accomplished and ask audiences to see the medium in a new and contemporary light.  Successful entries will exhibit their work at Bankside Gallery, situated next to Tate Modern, which is at the heart of London’s cultural quarter.

Prizes include £1000 cash prize, a feature in The Artist Magazine, studio time in the Heatherley School of Fine Art and art materials.

Water-based media include, but are not limited to: Acrylic, Gouache, Pen & Ink, Pigment, Tempera, Traditional watercolour and Mixed Media.
