Local Art Show 2013 competition launched

All art groups and societies from Exeter and the surrounding area are invited to submit their entries for the 2013 Local Art Show.

Shortlisted entrants will be featured in the Express and Echo throughout August and readers will vote for their favourite one. The name of the successful group will be announced on 29 August and they will exhibit their members' work in the museum from 24 September to 16 October. All entries must be submitted before Friday 19 July.

Entering groups will need to complete the competition entry form and submit it along with a CD/DVD containing five captioned images representing the group/society's work and 200 words stating why they think their group or society should win.

Greg Sheldon, lead councillor for environment and leisure, said: “This is the second year that we are giving local groups the chance to display their work at RAMM. Last year’s winner, Fairstream Arts in Wonford, put on a wonderful display and clearly showed what a wealth of artistic talent there is locally. Exeter City Council is pleased to be working with the Express and Echo to give other local groups this wonderful opportunity. I wish all the entrants the best of luck and look forward to seeing another stunning display.”

Local Art Show 2013 is run jointly with the Express and Echo newspaper.

Full terms and conditions are included in the competition entry form.
