The Society of Wildlife Artists

SWLA is pleased to announce that the Langford Press Field Sketches Award is running again this year and artists are invited to submit their field work for this great prize NOW! The deadline for last entries will be 5.00pm Monday 19^th October. The Award is given to any artist of any age who shows a fundamental understanding of the subject through their work in the field. The winner will have their winning field work displayed at this year’s The Natural Eye, the annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists.

The subject has to be of wildlife but this could encompass back garden nature just as much as exotic expedition work. The judges are looking for a body of work (maximum of eight pieces) that captures the essence of the subject which has been drawn from life. We are not looking for studio work. Open to any one who is inspired by the natural world, the work will be judged by Ian Langford and two senior members of the SWLA. The winner will be notified shortly after the closing date once judging has been completed and will be required to send their original field work immediately to the Mall Galleries for inclusion in the exhibition. The winner will be announced publically at the private view of The Natural Eye.
