Entries are now open for the 2027 Sir Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize.

The arts competition is held every three years as a tribute to the Llangefni-born landscape painter - and the support he gave to fellow artists and art students.

Sir Kyffin donated over 400 original works to his local gallery, Oriel Môn, between its opening in 1991 and his death in 2008.

The Drawing Prize aims to promote and reward excellence and talent in drawing practice, which he partiuclarly valued.

John Smith, treasurer of the Sir Kyffin Williams Trust, said: "Kyffin was a passionate advocate for the arts and always stressed the importance of the practice of drawing."

"He was an active and enthusiastic supporter of other artists, both established in their careers and just starting out as young art students; the Drawing Prize is therefore a fitting tribute to his generosity and his contribution to the art world."

"Once again, the Trust and Oriel Môn are greatly honoured that the drawing prize has attracted external sponsorship."

Nearly 200 candidates from across the UK and around the world entered the last competition in 2024 with nearly half of those getting their work through to the final exhibition at Oriel Môn.

The winner of the overall prize receives £3,000 while the student prize is worth £1,000.

Nicola Gibson, visitor experience manager at Oriel Môn, added: "The Sir Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize is a brilliant opportunity for artists of all abilities to have their work displayed in a prestigious art gallery, alongside the work of the great artist himself, Sir Kyffin Williams."

"Every time the Drawing Prize is announced, the variety and range of work submitted by both professional, amateur and student artists alike is incredible, and always makes for a thrilling and diverse exhibition."

The deadline for entries is Monday 30th November - with the exhibition taking place from 13th March to 11th July 2027.
