This competition celebrates the artists' need to comprehend the visual identity of the self.

The selection panel, Rachael Borchard, Sister Wendy Becket, William Feaver, Robert Travers and William Varley are seeking works which embrace the concept of self-portraiture, a concept which might go beyond passport-photo conventionality. An exhibition of works selected will be held at Kings Place Gallery, 14 October - 25 November when detail of the winning entry will be announced.

This is an open call for artists to submit a piece of work with a chance to win the £10,000 prize.

Completed entry forms, together with a CD of the work and a cheque for £15, must reach Kings Place Gallery by Thursday 1 September 2011.

Entry forms can be downloaded from the Kings Place Gallery website:
