AESTHETICA MAGAZINE SHORT FILM & CREATIVE WORKS COMPETITIONS

In addition to the Short Film Competition, we also run a Creative Works Competition,
which has categories for creative writing and artwork (including
sculpture, photography, ceramics and various artistic mediums). This is
now open for entries and I was hoping that you might also be able to let
your artists and networks through Moray Council know about this
opportunity?

The competition is a fantastic opportunity for both established and
aspiring artists to develop their reputations on an international scale
and all finalists are published in our sister publication, the
Aesthetica Creative Works Annual. I’ve included the full details about
the competition below and it would be fantastic if you could pass this
on to your mailing lists, many thanks again!
