Young Artist of the Year Competition 2025

Knutsford Young Artist of the Year was first held in 2022 to showcase young local artistic talent. We’re inviting young local artists to unleash their full artistic potential, whether that be in the form of paintings, digital art, ceramics, illustrations and more!

There will be two categories:

  • Junior artist: 4 to 11 years old

The competition opens for entries from 1st May and will remain open until 18th July. Categories will be shortlisted and judging will take place on Sunday 17th August at an awards ceremony in conjunction with Paint Knutsford. Both categories will be awarded a 1st and runner up prize.
