Glyndebourne Tour Art Competition 2022

Visual arts have always been an integral part of Glyndebourne, on and off the stage, and the annual Tour Art Competition, which has been running since 2013, offers a platform for new artists to raise their profile. 2022's competition challenges new artists to submit an artwork based on the theme of 'Disguise'.

Eligibility: New artists, aged 16+ with less than five years' experience of showing their work, are invited to submit one artwork by midnight (UK GMT) on Sunday, 3 July 2022. Two-dimensional works in any medium can be submitted, including paintings, drawings, prints, photography and digital artworks. The artwork should either be presented in a square format or be successfully cropped to a square format when reproduced, with a maximum size of 50cm x 50cm. A panel of judges will consider the creativity and technical execution of the artworks and how well each piece interprets the brief before selecting a shortlist and the eventual winning entry.

What you get: The winning artist will see their artwork on the cover of the Glyndebourne Tour Programme 2022. Their work will also be part of a physical exhibition onsite at Glyndebourne's Gallery 94 and a digital exhibition with all shortlisted works this autumn. Works can be offered for sale during the exhibition with an upper price limit of £500. As part of the prize, the winner will receive four free tickets to The Marriage of Figaro at Glyndebourne during the Tour 2022. All shortlisted entrants will win two free tickets.
