Last year’s Bridgeman Studio Award was won by illustrator Kate Edwards (whose winning image is shown above). As well as winning £500 and a free year’s subscription to Bridgeman Studio for image licensing, Kate’s images have since been used on book covers in the Netherlands, an Italian corporate publication as well as prints bought through Bridgeman’s print-on-demand partner, Art.com. Katie will also be one of the Bridgeman Studio artists running a workshop at this year’s Wilderness Festival which is also a partner in the 2015 award.
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 photography, illustration and graphic works.
