Welcome to Lancashire Artist of the Year 2025

The online public vote is now closed.

The finalists and the winner will be announced early October 2025.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to enter. The competition is now closed for 2025. Our panel of judges selected their favourites from each season to create a fantastic shortlist. The shortlist was put to an on-line public vote.

We'll use the most popular 3 artworks from each season to create a 2026 calendar sold in all Lancashire County Council libraries, with the proceeds going towards activities for care leavers in Lancashire.

The artwork with the most votes will become the overall winner, featuring on the calendar cover, with the artist who created it winning the title of Lancashire Artist of the Year 2025.
