Guernsey Arts and the Jersey Art Centre are working together on this year's Fox Open Art Competition, with application forms now available online, with the competition open to all Channel Island residents.
Artists from both Bailiwicks are invited to enter with the winning and selected artworks to be exhibited at the George Crossan Gallery in the St Peter Port market, and at the Jersey Arts Centre.
This year’s prizes total £2,000 and will be awarded to Channel Island-based artists who, in the opinion of the judge Mick Armson, have produced the most original work of art.
This year’s prizes are £1,000 for the overall winner, £500 for the winner of the Jock Russell Award for 12 to 18 year olds, and prizes of £100 for five highly commended artists.

Sponsored by JJ Fox International Ltd, the Fox Open Art Competition is now in its 42nd year.
This year, artists can enter online by completing the online application form and submitting photographs of their artwork. The judge will make a selection from the photographs then choose the winning works in person.
Guernsey Arts will be hosting a drop in on 4 September from 13:00 to 17:00 at the George Crossan Gallery for anyone who would like assistance with their entry form.
