Welcome to Lancashire Artist of the Year 2025

Do you have what it takes to become Lancashire Artist of the Year?

Lancashire County Council is on the lookout for our county’s best landscape artists. We want to see paintings, sketches or collages depicting a Lancashire vista in either spring, summer, autumn or winter.

Our panel of judges will pick their favourites from each season and create a shortlist. The shortlisted artworks will then be open to an online public vote.

We'll use the most popular 3 artworks from each season to create a stunning calendar which will be sold in all Lancashire County Council libraries, with the proceeds going towards activities to support 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.
