Concorso nazionale di arte e pittura | Regno Unito

Hashtag Kalakar presents the National Arts & Painting Competition 2026 for the United Kingdom, an online platform where artists of any age can showcase their work. Registration opens until 7 August 2026, after which participants must submit their artwork by 31 October 2026 in JPEG, JPG or PNG format. The competition is divided into three rounds, culminating in a final judged by a jury and audience voting. Cash prizes are awarded to the top three artists (£2,000, £1,200 and £400 respectively) and additional perks include magazine cover features, media coverage in over 40 news outlets, national ranking certificates, and publication in an International Arts Magazine for the top 1,000 participants. Registration fees vary by age group (£12 for under 9, £15 for 10‑19, £19 for 20+), but are fully refundable if the artist does not advance past the first round. The call is open to artists worldwide, with no explicit nationality restriction, though it emphasizes competition among UK participants. All entries are original works across a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media and digital art.
