Jackson's Competitions

Pastel Landscapes Competition with the Pastel Academy

19th May 2017 by   14
Pastels are often used for landscapes because of the ability to build up many layers and blend colours together, from creating a stormy sky to a field full of flowers. For our next competition we would love to see your landscapes in pastel! Submit your pastel painting for a chance to win a year’s Silver membership of the Pastel Academy run by artist and tutor Heather Harman and a Set of 60 Art Spectrum Soft Pastels in a Wooden Box worth £194! There will also be two People’s Choice Awards voted for by the public where each winner will receive a Half-Stick set of 40 Art Spectrum Soft Pastels worth £60. More details below…
The submission for this Pastel Landscapes Competition has now closed. Voting for the two winners of the People’s Choice Award runs from 2nd-8th June, with the winners being announced on 9th June. View and vote for the shortlisted entries here

      Hi Jo!

      No worries at all 🙂 If you refresh the competition entry page, you should now see the entries – I’m also going to upload them to a Pinterest board so will be displayed there as well.

      All the best,

      Christine

    Hi Christine
    I have made an error on my entry:
    Reference Entry Title: Warwickshire
    The title should be ‘Sailing Home on Loch Broom not
    ‘Warwickshire’…Warwickshire is where I live and we don’t
    have lochs here! Trying to be clever and filling the form in
    with Google presets!!!! Can’t seem to edit it from my
    side…..

    I tried to send my entry to you but
    it did not seem to go so I tried
    again. My Internet then failed and
    when I restarted your email and my
    entry had disappeared. Please could
    you let me know if it reached you.

    Hi
    Do we receive an email notification that you have
    received the entry? Because there is no
    submission box in the filling form.
    Thank you
    Chantal

      Hi Chantal,

      Thank you for your message, once you have filled out all the fields within the form you should press the submit button and a message will be displayed saying ‘Thank you for your submission’ – What is your entry called? As then I can have a look for it and see if it was submitted successfully.

      Many thanks,

      Christine

      Hi Susan, we have a competition calendar which roughly outlines the competitions we are running for the rest of the year. Our next competition launches next Friday and the theme is around Urban Sketching & Outdoor Drawing. Here is the link for the competition calendar, maybe bookmark it so that you can always find it?
