London Art College Entries for the 2026 Art Competition

Welcome to the 2026 London Art College Art Competition Entries

We are delighted to share this year's entries with you. Thank you to every student who took the time to send in their work. It's always one of the highlights of our year to see the competition entries arrive, and 2026 has been no exception.

This year we received a wonderful mix of subjects and mediums. You'll find watercolours, pastels, coloured pencil, oils, illustration and digital work, and everything from much loved pets and wildlife to landscapes, portraits and still life. Some pieces were created as part of a course, others began life as a Weekend Art Challenge or a personal project, and each one shows the skill, care and imagination our students bring to their art.

Our tutors now have the difficult job of choosing the winners, which will be announced after our annual meeting in October. The first prize winner will receive £200 in Amazon vouchers and the runner up £100. Keep an eye on the website and the blog for the results.
