Tying in with the Wilderness Festival’s support, this year’s theme is The Great Outdoors. Entrants will be asked to provide digital images which sum up exploration, travel, freedom and wild nature. The brief is open to all artists and includes fine art, illustration and printmaking.
Full details, including entry form, here
Grand Prize – £500 Commission
Our Grand Prize this year is a £500 commission to create the Wilderness Festival map, which 15,000 visitors to the festival will receive on arrival. A work of art in itself, the map will fold out to A3 size.
In addition:
– A profile of the artist will be added to the back of the Map, so this is an opportunity to tell your story, and show more work.
– Large sign posts with your final map design placed around the event including the entrance.
– PR coverage of the map commission including ‘The making of’ which will be created and distributed through Bridgeman and CultureLabel digital channels.
– Important: We are not looking for map designs/layouts at this stage. We are looking for images that have been inspired by the great outdoors. The winner will create the map based on their style and artwork. All you have to do is send us examples of your existing work

Three winners will receive their own product line (such as a limited edition print, tea-towel, T-shirt) on CultureLabel, featuring their images from which they will receive commission on every sale.
They will also be invited to join Bridgeman Studio for licensing and given one year’s free subscription.
