Call for entries: Poochibald™ Art Prize 2025

The Poochibald™ is back, and it’s time to celebrate our four-legged friends in style! This much-loved event invites you to showcase your admiration for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—whether they’re the scruffy adventurers, the neatly groomed stars, or the couch-loving companions who rule the house.
Now entering its 13th year, this cherished community exhibition continues to bring dog lovers together for a heartwarming display of creative talent.
Everyone is welcome to submit a painting, drawing, print, or small sculpture and take a shot at winning.
Find inspiration in all kinds of canines—celebrity pups, childhood companions, or the faithful floofer keeping your feet warm at this very moment. So go on—let’s see what you’ve got!
Featuring both an adult and two junior sections, there are great prizes.
The exhibition runs from 27 September – 20 October 11am – 5pm Wed – Sun.
Entries close Sunday 15 September. Entry is free!
Winners will be announced at the exhibition opening on Thursday 26 September at 5.30pm at the Schoolhouse Gallery. All welcome
