The HFFA Annual Art Prize and Exhibition for 2010

After David Hockney - Painting by Harry Horne-Roberts

Do you think you can't draw? Then here's an art competition for you!

The competition and exhibition, organised for the first time last year with great success, will help establish the special and unique characteristics in the work of people who are autistic, the visual principles that reflect the way they understand and relate to the world around them.

It's hoped that the prizes will encourage artists with autism and related disorders, to feel confident about the different way they make pictures and show that their work is as skilled and varied as any other art. There are large cash prizes available.

For full details about the competition and how you can enter click here.

There were over 200 entries last year. You can find out about the prizegiving ceremony and winning artwork here.
