The Scottish Landscape Awards is a biennial event open to anyone over 16 years born, living or studying in Scotland, and for works in any media – painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, all forms of sculpture, animation, textiles, photography, installation, video, multi-media, virtual reality landscapes – and more.

Works entered for the Scottish Landscape Awards may be imaginary, surreal, abstract, documentary, ecological, realistic – anything is possible as long as the work carries a strong sense of place or context. We seek works that reflect all dimensions of natural and/or synthetic environments – rural, urban, industrial, suburban, forest, mountain and seascapes, interior/exterior, minute/enlarged and more.

Works entered may be by individuals or collaborations. All members of the collaboration must be born, living or studying in Scotland.

Please note: To be eligible you must be over 16 years and have been born or currently living or studying in Scotland. Being a frequent visitor, previous resident or previous student in Scotland does not qualify you for entry.
