With only five days to go before EAC ‘s Over 60s Art Awards 2009 deadline, the entries for this year’s competition are now pouring in! Despite worries about postal delays, up until yesterday most postal entries seemed to be getting through. However, all entries posted on or before Saturday 24th October will be accepted, even if they arrive late. A special additional judging will be arranged.
We have been delighted with the take-up of online entry so far this year, with roughly 20% of artists choosing to enter online. This is particularly encouraging for a competition that has run on sae and the post for fourteen years. Now, of course, with a two-day postal strike about to start, artists able to enter online come into their own, and still have five full days in which to submit their entries.
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ring Marg Millington, EAC Art Awards volunteer, on 01704 893251, or email marg.millington@eac.org.uk.
