Presenter Stephen Mangan is back with the tenth anniversary series of Landscape Artist of the Year, travelling around the country on the hunt for the nation’s best landscape artist. This year 2000 artists applied and just 48 were selected to take part in six heats. This year’s stunning locations range from magnificent mountains to busy cityscapes and feats of Victorian engineering.

  
One heat sees the artists looking out over Llanberis Lake, at the foot of Yr Wyddfa – or Mount Snowdon. Another takes them to Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge and on to the city’s bustling harbourside. And two London heats take in Hampton Court Palace and the newly regenerated St Pancras Basin. The artists are working under the watchful eye of judges Kathleen Soriano, Kate Bryan and Tai Shan Schierenberg.

  
In each location, our artists are also joined by a further 50 ‘wildcard’ artists, who come along for the day, hoping to win just one wildcard place in the semi-final – this year held at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard looking out at Victorian megaship HMS Warrior.

  
The final of the competition takes place at Stonehenge – where three artists compete to win the grand prize – a £10,000 commission for the Courtauld Gallery to create a landscape of the South of France inspired by painters Monet, Cezanne and Van Gogh.

This is a televised competition. Artists enter with a landscape artwork created within the last 5 years. They are selected on merit by our panel of expert judges. At the heats they are given four hours to paint a particular, stunning landscape somewhere in the UK (locations announced closer to the time). Six heat winners get to compete at the Semi-Final. Three Semi-Finalists are selected for the Final. Just one Finalist is selected as the overall winner.

  
Filming the heats of Landscape Artist of the Year is planned to take place around the UK in Spring/ Summer 2025.
