NEWS UPDATE – Early Entry Interim Awards
As we approach the 3rd April deadline for submitting your artwork to the Jackson’s Open Art Prize we will be selecting additional interim prize winners each week.

For each week in March the Jackson’s panel will select an entry for commendation from the entries submitted so far. The winner will receive £100 or more worth of art materials. The four categories were chosen based on the four largest categories of entries. Submit your entry early to be included.

These are extra prizes and selection will not affect your chance of winning the overall prizes.

With no entry fee, great prizes and no restrictions on theme the JOAP 2016 is an unusual art competition.
Enter your artwork in the Jackson’s Open Art Prize. Deadline 3rd April 2016.

  1. Were is the pencil catagory?
    Seems to me this medium is very underrated for some reason it’s a very difficult thing to achieve a good result and I think you should be showing some of the artists that can get the results with coloured pencils
