The Threadneedle Prize for Painting and Sculpture is back in 2009, and is offering a whopping £25,000 top prize, out of a total prize fund of £36,000. It states that "Artists are invited to submit representational
and figurative work that retains a strong reference to the real world, executed in your chosen medium of art, painting or sculpture (but not photography or video). Work must be based on observation, rather than concept or abstraction. All themes are admissible; traditional as well as innovative interpretations are both welcome. Artists are encouraged to submit recent work not previously exhibited and, preferably, work that has been created especially for this competition" Sixty works will be chosen for exhibition in London from Sept 2009.
