The Art Fund Prize for Museum of the Year 2013 is the UK’s largest arts prize, celebrating the very best museums and galleries, highlighting and rewarding the innovative and creative ways they bring objects and collections to life for the public.

An independent panel of judges comes together to put the spotlight on the ten museums competing for the Prize. The winner will be presented with £100,000 and crowned ‘Museum of the Year 2013’ at an award ceremony in London on 4 June.

Museum of the Year Photography Competition
We need your creative talent to help us make a splash and show just how much the Gallery means to its visitors.

The Art Fund has launched a photography competition calling on the public to submit photographs inspired by any of the ten finalists. They are looking for the most innovative, atmospheric and even humorous images that really capture the spirit of the venue. Help us tell the story of the Gallery, its fabulous collections and its visitors by entering the competition today.

The deadline for submitting photographs is 15 May 2013.

The Art Fund will pick their favourite images of the ten finalists (one for each venue) and then hand it over to you – the public – to choose the winner. The fantastic prizes include an Apple ipad mini, a year’s National Art Pass, a selected image published in Art Quarterly and two tickets to the Museum of the Year ceremony on 4 June at the V&A, London.
