2025 will be the fourth year we have partnered with Madame F wine for our Madame F Queer Britain Art Award. Together we want to celebrate queer creativity by showcasing and supporting the art emerging from our talented communities.

Submissions can be paintings, drawings, illustrations, graphics, tapestry, collage, photography – any 2D medium you are working in. Top prizes of £1500, £1000 and £500 will be awarded during a special reception at the museum in Granary Square. Entries are now open, so good luck and let's celebrate queer creativity!
