We received more than 600 submissions from around the world for our Inspiration from the Elements art competition 2024. Entries included everything from paintings and drawings to textiles, sculpture, film and photography, and we loved seeing every single one! From this incredible selection, the four judges each chose their entries for the shortlist of 41. Of the shortlist, they selected one of their favourites to become their judge's choice. And finally, they unanimously agreed on the two runners-up and the winning piece. Today, we announce the results of the 2024 Inspiration from the Elements art competition...
