Green Hull Competition - Closing Date : 10th July 06

The Woodland Trust would like people of all ages to send in their best photos, paintings, collages or sketches of their 'green Hull', whether that be a local park, tree-lined avenue, wood, river or even back garden. As well as prizes for the winners and the possibility of featuring in a special calendar, all entrants' work will be exhibited in the Ferens Art Gallery's Live Art Space in September. A member of the judging panel will be TV broadcaster and wildlife photographer Chris Packham, best known for presenting the BBC's Really Wild Show.

The exhibition is another way for people to get involved in the charity's tree-planting programme in the city, which will see Hull lose its title of 'least wooded city in the UK'. The Trust is currently working with local communities throughout Hull to plant woodland and wildflower grasslands across the city - 12 sites, including 2 hectares of east Hull's Stonebridge Playing Field, have been planted so far. The competition is open to both amateur and professional photographers and artists, and split into four categories: under 7s, 7-11, 12-16 and 17 plus.

The closing date for entries is July 10th and winners will be notified by September 1st. Entry forms and further details about the competition can be found online at www.treeforall.org.uk/hull

	After seeing the 15 minute promise posters in the window of Revolution every day for a couple of weeks, I decided to go in and put them to the test. The deal is, if your food takes longer than 15 minutes from when you order to when it appears on your table, you get it for free. So upon entering, my wife and I were told by a friendly young lady to take a seat. She came Read more...
