London Art College Competition 2026

The 2026 London Art College Art Competition is now complete

Thank you to every student who entered this year’s competition. We were delighted by the number and quality of the artworks you sent in, and our tutors had a wonderful (and very difficult!) time choosing the winners.

And the winners are...

We are thrilled to announce that first prize goes to Sally Hall for her watercolour ‘Lady Jan’, with Lucy Jayne taking second prize for her coloured pencil drawing ‘For the Love of a Peanut Butter Biscuit’. Congratulations to you both!

You can read the stories behind both pieces on the 2026 Winners page, and browse every artwork submitted this year in the 2026 Entries gallery. It’s well worth a look, as there’s a lovely mix of subjects and mediums to enjoy.

See you next year

We will be running the competition again in 2027, so start thinking about what you might like to create. Details will be shared here and on the blog nearer the time.
