Grove Park Landscape Artist Competition (Sutton Parks ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’ 2026)

The Grove Park Landscape Artist Competition is one of the events in the Sutton Parks ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’ 2026 competition, organised by the London Borough of Sutton (Friends of Sutton Parks). It takes place on 27 September 2026 at The Grove, Carshalton (SM5 3AL, UK) from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. The event is free to enter and open to all ages, with three age categories (3‑10 years, 11‑16 years, Adults). Participants must attend the event day, collect an entry form on site, and create an original landscape artwork of the park during the three‑hour slot using their own materials (pencil, water‑colour, acrylic; no oil paint; maximum size A3). Prizes include £20 art vouchers for adult categories, art equipment for children, and £50 art vouchers for overall winners. Selected works will be exhibited in an Autumn exhibition across Sutton parks. No accommodation or travel support is provided; artists supply their own materials and equipment. The final deadline for all competition entries is 27 September 2026. This competition recurs annually, with the 2026 edition running from early July to late September across multiple Sutton parks.
