It's time once again to enter the National Galleries of Scotland Art Competition for Schools with fabulous prizes for individuals and whole classes.

Now unbelievably in its seventh year, the competition has attracted almost 20,000 entries, all inspired by artworks from the national collection. Exhibitions of winning work from this well established competition have travelled from Edinburgh to Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, Banff and Berwick-upon-Tweed attracting huge audiences.

A calendar featuring the top winning art works is sent, each year, to every school in Scotland and available for sale in the gallery shops.

The closing date is Friday 7th May 2010. Have fun making your entries!
