The Mall Galleries, London, are waiting for the public’s vote in order to decide the winner of The Threadneedle Figurative Painting Prize.
From an initial pool of 2,700 entries, 71 pictures have now been selected for final judging, with 7 works shortlisted for the prize. The final decision rests with the public, though, who can vote for their favourite until 12:00 noon on the 3rd of September, 2008.
As a bonus, all the works chosen for the exhibition are eligible to win the £10,000 Federation of British Artists Selectors’ Choice, which means a possible pot of thirty five grand to the winner, because there’s no bar to winning both prizes.
I’ve picked a few pictures that caught my eye (below), but why not click over to the exhibition and get voting for your own favourite?
