Wales Contemporary 2020

Artists have the opportunity to win £12,000 in prizes as Wales Contemporary / Cymru Gyfoes, the competition celebrating everything that makes Wales Welsh, returns for a second year. 

Developed by the Waterfront Gallery in association with the Welsh Government, Wales Contemporary / Cymru Gyfoes is an international open competition for 2D and 3D artworks. It celebrates all aspects of the country by inviting artists to submit work that is inspired by its heritage, art history, traditions, landscape (rural, urban or political) and contemporary culture.

Following the close of the call for entries, the submissions will be judged by a selection panel including artist Basil Beattie RA, painter Gerda Roper, and sculptor Sebastien Boyesen.

The subsequent exhibition will be displayed at the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven, South Wales and will tour to the Senedd and Pierhead Building, Cardiff.
