COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS COLUMN: Chance to showcase artistic flair

Artists in South Holland have a wonderful opportunity to showcase their work in the forthcoming Open Arts competition.

The prestigious contest has been running since 1999 and is designed to showcase the work created by professionals and amateurs across the region.
Artists can submit their work and an independent panel of judges will choose the pieces which will be displayed at the exhibition.

The contest is open to any professional or amateur artist over the age of 14 living or working in Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, Leicestershire or Fenland.
Artists can enter up to three works by completing an Open Arts entry form and submitting it along with photographs of their work to South Holland District Council’s Community Development team by Monday, February 1, 2016.

The chosen art works will be displayed in The Open Arts Exhibition which will take place at the South Holland Centre in Spalding from March 3 to March 10, 2016.
There will also be prizes on offer which have been sponsored by Riverbank Studios in Spalding and Shutter Hub.

Full details and rules can be found on entry forms, available from South Holland District Council, The South Holland Centre, Ayscoughfee Hall Museum, libraries and galleries in South Holland and online at www.sholland.gov.uk.
