Winners could see their work displayed on ad spaces across the UK, with prizes including gift cards and cash for schools.
Octopus Energy is running a UK-wide art competition on the theme of Reinvention, inspired by this year’s Turner Prize and the environmental ideas surrounding the exhibition at MIMA. It is open to young people aged 5 to 25 across Great Britain, and entrants can submit work individually or as part of a school group.
The brief is to create an original piece of art that imagines a better future for the planet. Participants can use any medium or materials they like, including painting, sculpture, stitching, graphics or photo montage, as long as the work is human-made and not created with artificial intelligence.
To enter, applicants must upload an image of their artwork together with a title, a description and their details using the online entry form. The competition offers a range of prizes, including gift cards, cash for schools, internships at Octopus Energy and the chance for winning artwork to be displayed on ad spaces across the UK.
Under-18 entrants need parental or guardian consent.
