Landscape Artist of the Year - 2026

Looking out over beautiful Derwentwater, the winner of this heat will go through to the semi-final and be one step closer to claiming the prize.

The artists are set up along the lake in London's St James' Park, looking out towards Buckingham Palace. They're hoping to create an artwork that catches the eye of judges.

The third heat takes place in the Port of Dover.

The winner of this heat advances to the semi-final and takes another step closer to the prize - a £10,000 commission for the National Gallery of Ireland.

In the fifth heat, with no pods to protect them, the artists have climbed aboard a WWII warship, HMS Wellington, on the River Thames.

The sixth heat takes place at Dover Castle.

Stephen Mangan presents the semi-final of Landscape Artist of the Year at the historic Ouse Valley Viaduct in Sussex.

Stephen Mangan hosts the grand finale with just three artists who have made it through to the last round of the competition.

We join the winner of this year's Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year as they travel to County Mayo to research their £10,000 prize commission.
