The judges have been hugely impressed by the quality and variety of the entries, and it was a tough job for them to shortlist the final 10 from nearly 800 entries!
The finalists will be invited to an exclusive awards event taking place at London Graphic Centre in September, where the winner will be decided by the Chair of judges, Theo Paphitis, in conjunction with the team of judges, Claudine O'Sullivan, Duncan Shoosmith, Kate Brinkworth and Zena El Farra.
The finalists’ entries will be judged by the team of judges, and the winner of the first prize will receive a £5000 cash prize, £500 worth of materials from London Graphic Centre, a £300 bundle from Liquitex and Winsor & Newton, a £250 voucher from Ryman and a £250 voucher from Obby.
The second prize, the People’s Choice Award, which is voted for online by the public, is still up for grabs! The winner of the People’s Choice Award will win £2,000 cash, £250 worth of London Graphic Centre materials, a £200 bundle from Liquitex and Winsor & Newton, and a £100 Ryman voucher.
The public has until Tuesday the 30th of August 2022 to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award. You can vote for your favourite entry here.
The winners of the Theo Paphitis Art Prize and the People’s Choice Award will be announced to the public on Wednesday the 14th of September.
