A new art prize has been launched.
The Liz Knox Art Prize, established by Hampshire-based arts organisation Creative Coverage, is open to all artists and craftspeople.
Tim Saunders, who co-founded Creative Coverage with his wife Caroline in 2012, said: "It is a fabulous opportunity for all artists and craftspeople to submit their single best 2D and 3D work and it will be displayed in the virtual gallery."
"At the end of every year a winner for each category will be selected and a prize will be awarded."

Winners in each category will receive a £100 e-voucher.
Liz Knox was a member of Creative Coverage and won the Aspect Prize in 2003.
She described her work as "a collection of marks influenced by objects, words, music, locations and events experienced. Mostly viewed from a mind’s eye perspective."
Neil Astley, of major poetry publisher Bloodaxe Books, remarked that Ms Knox "reinvented the still life."
Barbara Mackie, a fellow member of Creative Coverage, said: "She was my student flatmate from 1969 to 1971, in Keir Street, Edinburgh, beside the college of art."
