Knutsford Young Artist of the Year was first held in 2022 to showcase young local artistic talent. Once again, we’re inviting young local artists to unleash their full artistic potential, whether that be in the form of paintings, digital art, ceramics, illustrations or something else!
There are two categories:
- Junior artist: 4 to 11 years old
- Young artist: 12 to 18 years old
The competition is open for entries until 18th July.
A judging panel will shortlist several entries, who will then be invited to a special awards evening at Knutsford Market Hall on Sunday 17th August. The artists’ work will be displayed in the newly renovated Market Hall for the evening, and a winner and runner up in each category will be awarded and receive a prize.
To enter a valid submission in the competition, you must:
- Live in Knutsford, or
- Study at a Knutsford school
To enter the competition, please deliver your submission by 5pm on Friday 18th July, to:
Knutsford Town Council Offices, Toft Road, Knutsford, WA16 6TA. Entries should be accompanied by a piece of paper recording the entrant’s name, age and address and contact information for their parent/guardian.
The judging panel will then shortlist their favourite entries and those shortlisted will be invited to the awards presentation evening, which will be held on Sunday 17th August from 5.30pm.
