　　The John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize is an open submission competition available to all UK-based artists working with paint. Previous winners have included David Hockney, Peter Doig and Michael Raedecker.

　　The judging will take place throughout 2010 and will result in an exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery from September 18, 2010 to January 3, 2011, forming a central part of the Liverpool Biennial.

　　Reyahn King, director of art galleries at National Museums Liverpool , says: "The John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize provides a first prize of £25,000 and is a unique opportunity for artists to show their work in a major gallery.”

　　Littlewoods founder Sir John Moores, a keen painter, started the exhibition in 1957. In the last 50 years nearly 2,000 artists have exhibited. More than 100 people have sat on the jury.
