Art Competition Open to All Kent Pupils
7 September 2015
The 2015 John Downton Awards for Young Artists is now open for submissions which close on September 25.
Now in their 15th year, the John Downton Awards recognise the achievements of the young artists of Kent. This year's exhibition will take place in County Hall, Maidstone, from 26 October to 27 November, which will include an awards ceremony on a date TBC in November. A selection of the works will be taken from Maidstone to be shown in the Clore Studios at Turner Contemporary over Christmas and then onto the Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope Gallery.
There will be prizes for the top three individuals in each of the age groups, 11–16 and 17–18 and the John Downton trophy for the best overall submission by a school. In addition there are media specific prizes in painting, drawing, photography and mixed media. Finally there is a People's Choice Prize which is voted for by visitors to the exhibition. The work will be judged by a panel comprising teaching staff at UCA, Canterbury Christ Church and the University of Kent Submissions close at midday on September 25.
