Northern Contemporary Art Show 2013

I’ve easily gotten frustrated at the hard task of finding a definitive list of artist competitions in the UK. This is my attempt to remedy this and make it easy for all us emerging and established artists to go to a one-stop-shop PDF for all the major artist competitions in the UK.

I will keep updating this throughout the year as we go on and please get on touch if you see any extra competitions that should be added to the list.

Enjoy and good luck!
