Ok so this would be Football in the traditional sense i.e. Soccer for our septic brethren. This is a contest run by the Lowry Gallery & UMBRO celebrating the 'beautiful game' and covers all types of two dimensional media. Prizes are substantial (£25,000 pounds worth) as well as the opportunity for exhibition and sales of your work. It is open to UK & Ireland residents or international entries from individuals born in either the UK or Ireland. Contest information can be found here, a downloadable entry form can be found here.
