DEVON CPRE, the local charity that campaigns to protect Devon’s countryside, is reminding young artists that they have just a few weeks left to submit their entry for this year’s Best Young Landscape Artist Competition and win a cash prize.

Young artists aged under 18 have until the end of September to submit a painting, drawing, textile, collage, or mixed media artwork of a Devon view to win the coveted title of Devon’s Best Young Landscape Artist 2025.

The landscape could be a favourite beach or beauty spot, a local park or green space, somewhere visited on a day out or even the artist’s back garden.

There’s no shortage of stunning natural landscapes across the county to capture on canvas, including Devon’s two dramatic coastlines and everything in between - from high moorland to sheltered river valleys.

There are two age categories, 12 to 18 years and 7 to 11 years, with a £100 prize for the winner of each category and £25 runner-up prizes. The best entries will be exhibited at the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton.

Devon CPRE launched the competition several years ago with the support of established landscape artist Kath Hadden, who is based in Exeter and helps choose the prize winners alongside the charity’s Director, Penny Mills.

The competition is simple to enter. Your entry must be A3 or A4 size with your name, age and contact details clearly written on the back (include address, email and a telephone number). Tell us the title of your entry and the view it depicts, and post it to us at: Devon CPRE, PO Box 26, Beaworthy, EX21 5XN.

If you would like your painting returned, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope with the correct postage.

Closing date for submissions is Saturday, September 27.
