Developed in 2019 by the Waterfront Gallery with the support of the Welsh Government, Wales Contemporary / Cymru Gyfoes is an international open competition, inviting artists from all around the world to enter work in 2D or 3D on any subject matter.

Accepted mediums include painting, sculpture, drawing, print, ceramic, glass, textile, collage, mixed media, and more.

The first and second iterations of Wales Contemporary invited work ‘Inspired by Wales’. Now in its third instalment, the exhibition invited entries in any subject matter.

 Wales Contemporary / Cymru Gyfoes has established a strong reputation for championing and rewarding contemporary artists and their diverse practices, throughout a wide range of prizes and a touring exhibition promising to inspire wide audiences of art lovers.
