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 we 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 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 to mount an exhibition during 2026 at the Briggait, in Glasgow.

T&Cs: All works entered should have been completed in the last year.  There is no entry fee or hanging fee for either exhibition and it will be up to you whether you want to sell in either exhibition.  The work will be subject to a 30% commission selling fee. For displaying in An Tobar all work must be ready to hang with details on the reverse. Please include: Artist’s name, name of work, year, description, dimensions and price (if for sale), in that order. All work must be delivered to An Tobar before 3pm on Friday 11 July.
