Aspiring artists urged to express themselves

Aspiring artists are being given the chance to have their own art show, at the Saatchi Gallery.

The London gallery, once home to Damien Hirst’s pickled shark and Tracey Emin’s unmade bed, is running the competition for anyone aged over 16.

Budding artists are being asked to photograph anything they find interesting or beautiful, but not take a selfie, using a camera phone and the winner will land a solo show.

The competition, called #selfexpression, comes after the gallery’s hit selfie exhibition.

From Selfie To Selfexpression has been extended by two months following high demand and will now run until 23 July.

The new competition opens today and the winner, will be announced on 19 July.
