Llanbister Show is set to open the local show season on Bank Holiday Monday, May 26, with a mix of traditional and new attractions.

Organisers are giving early notice to amateur artists and photographers keen to enter this year’s competitions:

• Art (16+): Entries must be original, preferably recent, and can be 2D or 3D, as long as they are portable. Any medium is allowed, but 2D works should be unframed unless a mount is appropriate or the frame is integral to the piece. Do not sign, but please put name and contact details on the back of the picture, underneath the object or in an attached, sealed envelope. Certificates and cash prizes will be awarded to the top three.

• Photography (Under 16 & 16+): Entrants can submit an original and preferably recent photograph, in colour or black and white. Do not frame, unless with a mount only if appropriate. Please put name, your age group (under or over 16) and contact details on the back of the picture or in an attached, sealed envelope. Trophies will be awarded to the top three in each category.

This year’s theme for both competitions is ‘Nature and Food’.

Entries must be submitted between 12pm and 1:30pm in the Craft Tent on Show Day or delivered in advance by arrangement to The Old Village Store, Llanbister.
