Submissions will be accepted through September 20, 2025. The contest is open to all ages; however, artists under 18 must include a parent or guardian’s signature with their entry.
There is no limit to the number of submissions an artist can enter. All artwork must be created using the template (available in print and digital formats).

In August each year, The Gordon Hotel invites the local community and guests to participate in our annual art contest, where four pieces are selected to be part of a special collection. In 2023, the four winning entries were made into one-of-a-kind stationary sets, and in 2024, the selected submissions were part of a bespoke vinyl sticker set for guests to take as a memento of their time with us.
