Awards

As a first year undergraduate arts student, Losq won the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the UK’s most prestigious drawing competition. The chair of the judges panel commented: “The most staggering thing after we decided on the winner, of course we didn’t know her name, was that it was a student – a first year BA student – who happened to go to Wimbledon College of Art.”[7]

In 2010 she received the first place Winsor & Newton Painting Prize.[8]

In 2014 she was voted John Moores Painting Prize Visitors’ Choice for her watercolor work Vinculum, described as "a stunning feat, belying the usual expectations of a watercolour... with its dizzying sense of perspective and incredible detail."[3]

She was awarded the John Ruskin Prize 2019, a multi-disciplinary award for those "artists, designers and makers whose work defies easy categorisation".[9]
