"Horse
Dreaming - The essence
of spirit, heart and nature"
Capture the essence of spirit,
heart and nature in this
Spring Arts exhibition category designed to engage people
working in any medium, but the image required for the exhibition
is a black and white print.
We anticipate this category will encourage those working in
the digital field, either as photographers or digital artists...
or if you have painted a picture or made a sculpture you could
take a photograph or scan of that work and submit the print
as your entry. You can put the original work into another
category and double your chance of selling and winning.
