The Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI) invites artists worldwide, aged 18 and older, to submit artwork for the ROI Annual Exhibition 2026 at Mall Galleries. Selected artists will have their work exhibited at Mall Galleries in London, with the potential for sales and commissions. The optional special theme for 2026 is “Winter Rituals.” Who can apply: Artists may submit up to six artworks each. Works should not exceed 2.4 meters in their longest dimension. All works must be original creations by the artist. Acceptable media: Oil paints. The ROI promotes and exhibits work of the highest standard in oil paint. Water-mixable oil paint is acceptable if framed as an oil painting, so as not to detract from the overall appearance of the exhibition. What you get: There are £10,000 worth of incredible prizes and awards on offer, including the Roger Remington Award of £4,000 for a work of art that addresses the climate crisis.
