Liverpool Daily Post.co.uk – Entertainment – Liverpool Arts – Liverpool’s John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize to launch in Shanghai.

THE Walker Art Gallery is exporting its world-famous John Moores Painting Prize to China, by launching a new version of the competition at Shanghai’s World Expo.

The first winner will be announced in August, with the contest taking place every two years as a separate event to the original Liverpool-based prize.

Organisers say other cities across the globe have also expressed interest in hosting a John Moores Prize of their own.
