Calling courageous creatives for St George competition

The St George in Southwark Festival, now in its third year, aims to establish St George as a multicultural patron saint with connections to many of Southwark's diverse communities.

"The story of St George is all about courage and standing up for justice," says festival coordinator Marion Marples.

"We're hoping to showcase some of Southwark's rich creative talent and we hope as many people as possible will have a go."

The competition is open to people of all ages and entries will be displayed at the St George Festival International Picnic on Saturday 25 April.

Prizes have been donated by Newcomen Collett Foundation & Southwark Chamber of Commerce. There is a first prize of a £50 voucher in each of the four age categories (under 7, 7-11, 12-17 and adult).

Entries can be submitted until this Friday 17 April.
