ENTRIES have opened for this year’s Malmesbury In Bloom children’s painting and photography competitions, sponsored by the Standard.

Entry classes for the competition are under 4-years-old, up to six-years-old, seven to 11-years-old and 12 to 16-years old.

To enter, submit a photograph or painting, with a maximum size of A4, to the Town Hall by Friday, July 20.

Names of the artist, age, their school and contact details need to be on the back of all pictures.

After judging, all artwork submitted will be exhibited in Malmesbury Library throughout August and September.

Entries are still open for the garden competition.

Last year saw a record number of entrants and they hope that this year will be no different.

Judging will take place on July 19 and a presentation evening will take place for all entrants at the Town Hall in September.

You can collect entry forms from the Town Hall or download one from their website malmesbury.gov.uk/
