Landscape Artist of the Year - Season 10

Season 10
Stephen Mangan is back with a brand-new series of Landscape Artist of the Year, on the hunt for Britain's best landscape artist. In this first heat, he's off to Hampton Court, where eight artists are lined up in front of the palace's baroque east front. The winner of this heat will go through to the semi-final and be one step closer to claiming the prize; a £10,000 commission for the Courtauld Gallery, to create a landscape of the South of France inspired by painters Monet, Cezanne and Van Gogh. Joining our main competitors will be a host of artists trying their luck as Wildcards, hoping to catch the eye of judges Kathleen Soriano, Kate Bryan and Tai Shan Schierenberg. If successful, one lucky wildcard winner will stand the chance of a place in the semi final. So, with only four hours to create a masterpiece, who has what it takes to become Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year?

Episodes

Hampton Court
The start of the search for the nation's best landscape painter.

Episode 2

Clifton Suspension Bridge
We've hit heat number three in this series of Landscape Artist of the Year, and we're heading to Bristol to capture one of the country's most iconic structures – the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Based on a design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge was opened in 1864 - five years after Brunel's death. The bridge was completed as a monument to him and marks a turning point in the history of engineering. Seen by Bristolians as a celebration of original thinkers and independent spirit, what better inspiration for our latest batch of artists as they look to do Brunel's "first child" justice on canvas.

St Pancras Basin
In heat four we're heading into the capital to lay down St Pancras Basin on canvas. Originally built in 1869 by Midland Railway as a coal wharf, it is now home to the St Pancras Cruising Club, and an oasis of calm amid the noise and haste of the nearby rail station. Our painters will need all the calm they can get as they hope to impress our judges enough to continue in the competition.

Dinorwic
Following in the footsteps of Paul Cézanne and his famous artworks of the Bibémus Quarry, this week's heat will see our artists head to Wales' Dinorwic quarry. Once the second largest slate quarry in Wales (and the world) the site is now home to the National Slate Museum and a major rock-climbing venue for those looking to test their grip. But which of this week's painters will hold on to their chance for the Cézanne-inspired commission?

Bristol Harbourside
In our final preliminary heat this series, Landscape Artist of the Year returns to Bristol as this week's artists capture Bristol Harbourside. Once one of the country's busiest docks, the waterfront is now a vibrant attraction filled with markets, restaurants, bars and water sport activities. Who can impress our judges enough to take the final space in this year's semi-finals?

Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard
It's the semi-finals of this year's competition, and our eight heat winners along with one wildcard entrant have the task of committing Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard to canvas. Home to the Mary Rose and HMS Victory, the dockyard is a living memory of Britain's naval past. With expectations high, which three artists will carve out a spot for themselves in next week's grand finale at Stonehenge?

Stonehenge
We've reached the grand finale of this year's competition, where the last remaining challenge will take the top three artists to one of Britain's most iconic landmarks, Stonehenge, where they will vie for the title of Landscape Artist of the Year. The winner will receive a £10,000 commission for the prestigious Courtauld Gallery in London and the opportunity to create a landscape in the south of France.

Our Winner's Film
Our Winner's Film follows the successful candidate as they walk in the footsteps of Monet, Manet and Van Gogh, and eventually unveil their finished landscape back in London.

Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.

In each episode, contestants are challenged with a signature bake, a technical bake, and a showstopper, with judges critiquing their creations and ultimately selecting a "Star Baker" and eliminating one contestant each week. The show tests their baking skills, creativity, and prowess under pressure.
