Celebrating Young Artists in Sefton
Do you have a creative side? We want to see it!
The Atkinson, in partnership with The Arts Society Southport, is inviting young artists from across Sefton to submit one original piece of artwork to their exciting competition. If you live in Sefton or attend High School, College or equivalent n the borough, this is your chance to showcase your creativity.
What can you enter?
The competition is open to all art forms including paintings, drawings, prints (not reproductions), photography, textiles, sculpture or mixed media. Young artists can get support and encouragement from adults along the way, but the final piece must be entirely their own work.
What’s in it for you?
All entries will be showcased in an online exhibition. Winning and highly commended artists will have their pieces displayed at The Atkinson. Wining entries receive a special prize from The Arts Society Southport, plus you and your guests will be invited to a celebration event.
