The Greyt Portrait Prize – 2023 Calendar Competiton

Are you ready to wash off your paint palette, dust off your pastels and sharpen up your pencils?

We’d love to see your Greyhound portraits.

Our 2023 calendar competition is The Greyt Greyhound Portrait prize.

A bit like the Archibald but with much longer snoots!

The talented top 12 portraits will feature on each calendar month page.

Here’s some helpful guidelines to get your creative juices flowing

Greyhounds have been depicted in art throughout the ages.

Their special place in society was reflected in the art of the Middle Ages & Renaissance era.

With our 2023 Calendar – The Greyt Portrait Prize – we aim to show the love, respect and admiration adopters have for their rescued hounds.

This competition is open to all artistic levels!

We welcome entries from budding artists, professional artists, children and those with no artistic skills at all!

Artwork Photo Specifications

To ensure a beautiful looking calendar and stunning Greyhound portraits, we will require high quality photos of your artwork.

Ideally, photos should be taken in landscape format as portrait orientated photos generally do not fit well on the calendar pages.
When supplying digital files (photographs of paintings or digital artworks), ensure the image is the highest resolution possible.
A minimum of 4000 pixels by 3000 pixels is recommended.
