Clean Growth Art Competion – Enter now
Art Competition – Open to all
We invite you to produce a piece of art work that either highlights local climate change issues, or illustrates ways that Sidmouth’s economy could grow in a clean way. There will be a £100 voucher prize for South West Art Shop for the most thought-provoking piece. The art works may be used to publicise the event, and will be displayed at Kennaway during the talks. We hope that your art will provide a stimulus to the discussions and help inspire the planning of next year’s Science Festival programme. The art work will be judged by attendees of the events.
If your work is for sale, please submit a price label. 15% commission will be charged on sales payable to the Sidmouth Science Festival. Ownership will be retained by the artist, unless sold.
If you are interested in entering a piece of art work please email: sidmouthscience@gmail.com Hand-in day will be Friday 21st February 2020 from 10am-12 noon and collection on Thursday 27th February at 2pm at the David Norman art demonstration.
