The result of a prestigious Liverpool painting prize will be broadcast live online for the first time ever.
The John Moores Painting Prize is the biggest in the country, attracting thousands of entries every year from a broad spectrum of artists.
Judges will choose from 45 shortlisted entrants with the winner receiving a £25,000 prize and four runners-up winning £2,500 each.
Organisers say the live broadcast, which can be seen at www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/johnmooreslive on Thursday 16th September, is a unique opportunity for viewers to see behind the scenes at the Walker Art Gallery in the city centre.
The judging panel is made up of artists Gary Hume, Alison Watt, Ged Quinn, Goshka Macuga and curator/critic Sir Norman Rosenthal.
The paintings will be on display at the Walker Art Gallery from 18 September 2010 to 3 January 2011.
