25.01.2022 TIPS FOR ENTERING: Online entry is the easiest way! If you prefer to print the entry form and fill it in and email us a photograph of your entry form then please write clearly so we can read it and please make sure the photograph is in focus....if we can't read your handwriting or it is blurry then there may be errors on your artwork label and in the exhibition catalogue. It also makes it difficult to contact you if we can't read your contact details. Good luck everyone
