Skying Competition

This competition is now closed

Fascinated by the sky and its effects, John Constable (1776 - 1837) believed that the sky was 'the chief organ of sentiment' in a painting and used the term 'skying' to refer to his cloud and sky studies.

We want to see your sky inspired photographs! Enter our 'Skying' competition for the chance to win True to Nature: Open-air Painting in Europe, 1780 - 1870 and Hockney's Eye: The Art and Technology of Depiction themed gifts, and one year’s Friends of the Fitzwilliam membership. All entries will be shared at the Fitzwilliam Museum and across its social media channels.

To enter, please submit one photograph (portrait/vertical mode only) of a cloudscape/skyline/sky/rooftop/sunrise/sunset by email to comps@fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk or tag us on Instagram using @fitzmuseum_uk #FitzSkying. Explore the labels in 'Skies and Effects' in True to Nature for some inspiration!
