Tate Britain is accepting new label copy for its artworks from visitors to the London museum.


London's Tate Britain is seeking fresh interpretations of works in its collection from the museum's visitors.

If you have a preference for a particular work of art or the subject matter of the Tate's paintings (e.g., botany, engineering, fashion, music, religion), choose one and write about it eloquently. Perhaps you've been to the actual location in one of the museum's landscapes. Describe your experience.

Although Tate Britain provides a recommended list of 19 pre-1900 and 20 post-1900 works, contestants can choose to create captions for anything in the museum's collection. The most interesting submissions will be turned into label copy and used by the museum. You will be notified if yours has been chosen and when it will appear near the work you described.
