WW2 80TH VE DAY PAINTING COMPETITION– Fitting in with other events in Burbage, we are inviting entries for our 2025 Painting Competition – you have a range of subjects to pick from – WW2 planes, ships, submarines, tanks, cars, trucks, WW2 locations – Europe, London, images of soldiers, land girls, London, poppies, D Day landings, rations, dad’s army, Bletchley or you could take a view of how people felt about VE Day celebrations or relief or other reflections.
Please let me know when you have decided on your entry – we are trying to keep them to A3 framed or smaller to enable space for everyone’s entries – last year we had 28 entries and our competition display was really well received by our visitors. I shall need your painting title and media. All submissions will need to be handed in prior to 10 May either at our demonstration night or you can drop off at my house 153 Ashby Road, Hinckley. We will be displaying these items at 8am on 10 May so the presentation is ready for 10am when the Art & Craft Fair is open.
FRAGMENTED PICTURE – it’s finished and is absolutely wonderful – we shall have it on display on 10 May 25 for all to see
