Calling Bedfordshire’s crafters…

Craft making

Local artists and crafters are being asked to enter their creations into a regional competition which will celebrate the wealth of creative talent in Bedfordshire and the East of England.

A £100 High Street voucher is up for grabs in the competition, run by Cosy Owl, a candle-making-kit company based in Braintree.

Hopeful entrants are asked to submit a photograph of their creation on Cosy Owl’s Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Entries must be handmade and be inspired by the winter season.

The closing date is Monday 27 January. For any artists interested in entering, full terms and conditions can be found on the website here.

Managing director of Cosy Owl, Richard Fewings said, “We’re excited to launch a competition which will be open to artists across the East of England.

“Our close-knit candle making community regularly share ideas and inspiration around craft making and it will be really interesting to see what other art and craft entries enter into the competition.

“The competition is open to artists of any art/craft form, you just need to make sure your creation is original and winter-themed. Best of luck!”
