Ten original pieces of art will feature in a pop-up gallery in the London City Airport

Artists in Guernsey have been invited to enter a competition to win a place in a Liberation Day exhibition in London.

Guernsey Arts and airline Aurigny have teamed up to find 10 original pieces of art to feature in a pop-up gallery at London City Airport to celebrate 80 years of liberation.

Organisers said the art should inspire people to visit Guernsey while reflecting "the island's rich history, breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture".

The competition closes on 18 February and the winning artists will also receive a £200 prize.
