The Derwent Art Prize 2016
The Derwent Art Prize was conceived in 2012 and aims to reward excellence by showcasing the very best artworks created in pencil by British and International artists. Since the Derwent Art Prize began four years ago, the competition has attracted more than 4000 entries from over 67 countries worldwide. The prize aims to reward excellence by showcasing the very best artworks created in pencil by British and International artists.
