I came across the competition when I was checking out what was exhibiting in the Gloucester museum (top floor temporary exhibition gallery - years, I've been going to Gloucester and the library, years! And walking straight past the museum door with its very Roman invitation, thinking 'I've done the Romans, did it at school'. Worra daft girl! Didn't realise there was such a great gallery space on the top floor.)

Anyways, there are entry forms etc for the competition at the gallery (up Brunswick Road, towards where the old Gloscat building used to be - well, still is, but when it was open).

And the present exhibition is the 150th (surprisingly enough), and in addition to a fabulous range of prints!! has a central display board with newspaper cuttings and photos from over the 150 year history of the exhibition - makes for some interesting reading.

I reviewed the exhibition for a new Forest Radio programme 'Arts Cafe' which I'm co-presenting ... but more of that in a later posting.

Entry to museum and the print exhibition is free by the way.
Open until 1 March, opening hours Tuesday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm.
