Have to say that's an awful title but football, good taste and art don't normally go together.

BARCLAYS SEARCH FOR NATION'S FAN GOGH
Barclays and Arts Council England have launched a nationwide art competition for football fans - 'Barclays: Finding Fan Gogh'.

In a celebration of the passion and excitement of being at a game supporting your club, plus the on pitch artistry and invention football fans see, fans are invited to show ‘what football means to them’.

From the grit of grassroots to the Barclays Premiership elite, supporters can choose the aspect of football that inspires them and convey this in art form - drawing, painting, photography or collage.

A panel representing the worlds of football and art will be responsible for the judging process and selecting a winner.

Barclays Finding Fan Gogh Judging Panel:

:: Sir Christopher Frayling, chairman Arts Council England

:: Sir Peter Blake, eminent artist (him again!)

:: Jim Hytner, Barclays marketing director

:: Sara Cox and Chappers, Radio One DJs and football fans

:: Teddy Sheringham, West Ham United

The winner will receive £10,000 and have their artwork displayed on a giant advertising board near their local Barclays Premiership team. Five runners up will receive £1,000 each.
