Artwork flooding in for Black Country challenge
Artists and photographers have been sharing their colourful creations as part of the Mayor of Dudley’s challenge to mark the Black Country Festival.
The challenge asks artists and photographers to come up with a picture that captures the “spirit of the Black Country”.
It marks a month-long celebration of the region with Black Country Day which was celebrated on July 14.
More than 30 works of art have been submitted so far ranging from people, to industrial settings and key landmarks from across the region.
The winning entry will be framed and will hang in the Mayor’s parlour later this year.
Councillor David Stanley, Mayor of Dudley, said: "The response in just a few days has been overwhelming. We really do have some talented people in the Black Country and I am delighted they have been showcasing their skills in this way.
"There’s still time for people to submit their paintings or photography. It will be a real honour to be able to hang it in the Mayor’s parlour as part of this year’s celebrations."
People are being asked to submit their entries on social media via #BCFestivalOnline and the Mayor will choose the winning design to hang in the parlour.
Entries can also be emailed to capa.events@dudley.gov.uk by August 14.
