Welcome to our second The Harbour Gallery awards 2026. We’re now welcoming entries into this annual competition with a chance for one artist to win a year’s representation alongside some of the countries best contemporary artists.
The winner will not only receive unlimited representation 24/7-365 through The Harbour Gallery and its website for a year, they will also receive a host of social media promotions to our tens of thousands of followers.
To enter, please fill out the form below, adding a high-resolution photo (min of 2000 pixels on the longest side) of your submission. Please make sure the photo is square, of good likeness/colour, is well cropped to the artwork and does not include any frames, etc.
We only allow one submission per British-based artist and the first submission made will be the only one we will use, so please make sure you choose wisely first time. NB: The winning artist will be asked to paint a collection of works related to Cornwall or Cornish scenes for their year’s residency. However, Cornish depictions are not necessary for their submission into this competition.
The important dates are:
1st – 30th October: Submissions.
1st – 7th November: The 20 finalists will enter the first round public voting (All finalists will have a chance to get as many public votes as possible to secure their place in the second round.)
8th – 14th November: The remaining fifteen finalists enter the Second round of public voting.
15th – 21st November In the final round of public voting, the 10 remaining finalists bid for the top 5 places.
22nd November: Jury vote – One of the final top five artists from the public vote will be chosen by the THG Jury as winner.
PLEASE, ONLY ENTER IF YOU’RE HAPPY WITH THE ABOVE JUDGING PROCESS
We will of course share images of the finalists on our social media feeds, but it is highly recommended that all finalists also promote their artworks with their own following, collectors, friends and family to get the best chance of obtaining the most overall votes and reach the final Jury vote.
