The deadline to enter the John Moores Painting Prize 2012 has been extended to 31 January 2012.
Artists now have an extra 11 days to enter the prize that Sir Norman Rosenthal, former Royal Academy Exhibitions Secretary, described as the: “Oscar of the British painting world".
With a first prize of £25,000 along with four further prizes, each of £2,500, this is the biggest painting prize in the UK that results in an exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery.
The number of entrants last month was twice that over the same period for the last John Moores Painting Prize. Due to this popular demand, Prize organisers have decided an extension is necessary.
Angela Samata, project manager for the John Moores Painting Prize says: “After seeing the registration figures for December we are anticipating a lot more artists will register over the coming weeks. In order to meet the demand we have decided to extend the deadline to the end of January.”
The image submission deadline has also been extended. Once artists have registered, they will have until midnight on Monday 6 February to submit jpgs of their artwork. The judging will take place throughout 2012 and will result in an exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery which runs from 13 September 2012, forming a central part of the Liverpool Biennial.
Judges for this year’s competition are artist Fiona Banner who is from Merseyside, director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery Iwona Blazwick, Spanish born painter Angela de la Cruz, a former Turner Prize 2010 nominee, Turner Prize2011 nominee George Shaw and creative director of the BBC, Alan Yentob. The John Moores Painting Prize is an anonymous and open submission competition available to all UK-based artists working with paint. Previous winners have included David Hockney, Peter Doig and Lisa Milroy. The 2010 First Prize was won by Keith Coventry.
Reyahn King, director of art galleries at National Museums Liverpool says: “Not only does the John Moores Painting Prize give contemporary artists the chance to win £25,000 but it also offers the opportunity to display their work at a national gallery, the Walker Art Gallery. Uniquely it is the only art prize with a sole focus on painting, and has remained the UK's most prestigious painting award for the last 55 years.”
Entries have to be original, painted within the last two years and within a set size, designed to hang on walls, and by an artist who lives, or is based, in the United Kingdom. Full conditions are on the website. Judges will see all submitted artworks and at Stage 2 view all shortlisted paintings.
First held in 1957, the John Moores Painting Prize is the UK's best-known painting competition and is named after Sir John Moores (1896-1993), the founder of the prize.
The John Moores Painting Prize is a partnership between the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition Trust, which continues the philanthropic work of Sir John Moores and the Walker Art Gallery. The prize remains true to its founding principles: to support artists and to bring to Liverpool the best of contemporary painting practice from across the UK.
The prize attracts a broad spectrum of artists. Works are selected anonymously from an open submission by the jury, who also award the main prizes. No preference is given to levels of experience or particular practices of painting.

13 January – 26 February 2012 .......Titian - Diana and Actaeon
Work of Renaissance master on display at Walker Art Gallery One of the most important paintings in Britain is going on display at the Walker Art Gallery. Diana and Acteaon by Titian, considered to be among his greatest works.as Part of a National Gallery UK tour.
Diana and Actaeon is one of six large-scale mythological paintings inspired by the Roman poet Ovid that Titian painted for King Philip II of Spain. Titian began the picture and its companion Diana and Callisto in 1556, the year of Philip’s coronation. Spurred on by the prestige of royal patronage, he unleashed all his creativity to produce works of unprecedented beauty and inventiveness.
Titian worked for three years to perfect these masterpieces, which were shipped to Spain in 1559. He claimed their lengthy genesis was due to the relentless pains he took to make sumptuous works of art worthy of the king.
