All long-listed artists will be eligible for this award.

Venice is the one city that truly lives up to its reputation.

A place of inspiration for countless artists - the history of Venice in images includes Titian, Giorgione, Canaletto, Bellini, Tintoretto, Veronese, Monet, Sickert, Turner and Whistler.

This exclusive painting experience will take you into the heart of Venice to paint plein air, immersed by the atmosphere of lagoon light, elegant scuolas, stone bridges, and the ambient waterways of 'La Serenissima'.

Voting goes live in July when the exhibition opens.
