The clock is ticking to get your entries in for the inaugural Evening Standard Contemporary Art Prize, with entries closing this Sunday.

The prize, created in association with Hiscox, will be awarded to one painter for a work inspired by the brief of ‘London’. The winner will receive £10,000, as well as a year of Hiscox’s Fine Art Insurance and a lifetime Art Pass.

If you’ll be putting the finishing touches to your work right until the final hour, make note that no entries will be considered after midnight this Sunday (September 24).

Entries cannot be bigger than 594 x 841 mm, and if shortlisted, need to be sent in for judging by October 16.

It was announced earlier this week that leading contemporary artist Idris Khan will join the judging panel. He said, “It will be exciting to see how artists perceive and capture contemporary London in their artworks.”

The winner will be announced at an event at the National Gallery on October 26.
