Monthly art competition planned

A competition for Peninsula artists plans to showcase their work every month for the next 12 months.

Peninsula News in conjunction with Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre is running the competition.

Each month artists will have the opportunity to create or submit a piece based on "activities, people, places or events that typify the Peninsula in 2004".

The winner each month will win a certificate, a voucher for $50 worth of art and craft supplies, will published in the Peninsula News and will also be showcased by Gosford Council in its Peninsula Libraries during the following month.

The competition aims to "capture memories" of the way the Peninsula is now for future generations.

There are no restrictions on the choice of media other than size, due to storage and display facilities.

Only one entry per person is allowed each month and entry is open to all.

Entries for the July prize should be dropped into the Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre, in Kitchener Park, corner Picnic Parade and Maitland Bay Dr, between 10am and noon on July 17.

The winner will be published in the July 27 edition of Peninsula News.
