Mull Highland Games
Art Prize Exhibition

For the Mull Highland Games Art Prize and the Highland Art Prize you are all invited to enter a painting, photo, collage or other 2D work and/or any three-dimensional work in any medium. Prize categories are; 2 dimensional (open), 2 dimensional (under 18s), 3 dimensional (open) and 3 dimensional (under 18s.)

This is a prize started in 2021 and we hope this year to include all the artists on the island and give all the opportunity to showcase their work.

All artworks entered will be hung in An Tobar cafe in July for a month and during the week of the Mull Highland Games (21st - 25th July) 

Up to five of the two dimensional artworks entered for the Mull Highland Games Art Prize will also be selected by the judges for submission to the Highland Art Prize.  The exhibition will be held from 10th-18th October 2025 at the McCallum Art House, just off Fort William High Street.

The Mull Highland Games is one of 15 or so organisations across Scotland entitled to submit works to the Highland Art Prize.  The recipient of the Highland Art Prize receives £500 and also has the opportunity, with Wasps  to mount an exhibition during 2026 at the Briggait, in Glasgow ideally in October 2026 when the 2026 Highland Art Prize exhibition will also be taking place (as the Royal National Mòd is in Glasgow next year).

Alongside that, Cass Art will present a £250 gift voucher to the highly commended runner-up; and in addition, Fort William's very own Highland Soap Company is offering one of their hand care gift sets free to each of the 10-12 shortlisted artists.
