Time for another sneak peek … This is an oil and collage work from Michelle Hand, whose book was the 1981 School Friend Annual. She has titled this piece, “What’s Up Skip?”, and we think it’s just beautiful! Thanks, Michelle!
What's Up Skip?
Hi All!
Wow! What can we say to these wonderful entries we’ve been receiving for this year’s Biblio-Art competition!? They are inspirational and amazing, yet again! To the artists who have entered this year, a huge thank you!
So now we have closed the competition for 2012 – if you have a piece completed but not yet submitted, please get in touch with us. Otherwise, we have another very healthy, very diverse exhibition ahead of us! We’ll be in touch soon with what happens next. Meanwhile, as promised, a sneak peek at an entry from Warrnambool’s own Dianne Gaetani. Her book was “The Earth Garden” (K&I Smith, Eds) and piece is entitled, “Bags of Ideals”. Beautiful, no?

The entries are coming in thick and fast now! Thank you to all artists who are keeping to the deadlines! It makes our job so much easier. I keep thinking we should award an extra prize to early entries! This year we won’t be accepting late entries at all, so do take care. It’s a great competition with a worthwhile prize, so please respect our stance on this.
We are very nearly at the closing date, and we’re looking forward to seeing them all! We’ll run some sneak peeks shortly… Please make sure that the entry forms are filled out properly, and that your photos are the best quality you can manage (no photos through glass, please!).
We’ll be announcing who our guest judges are soon, so stay tuned! Facebook often has information that may not make it to the website, so please take a moment to like us there as well – it’s just another way to stay in the loop.
Keep up the inspirational work!
