The latest fun challenge is to create an artwork inspired by “the view from your window”. It could be buildings or wildlife, or let your imagination take you elsewhere.

If you are inspired to make art, that’s all that matters, no matter the medium.

Organiser John Buxton said: “We all know just how isolating being stuck at home during lockdown can be. It is not good for your general mental health. So we have decided to do something to lift your spirits and created an art challenge. Open to everyone no matter what age or ability. Give it a go!”

Ten entries will be selected to be exhibited at Brighouse Arts Festival 2021. All submissions will go live on the festival Facebook and website online gallery. Entries can be art, poetry, videos, photos – it’s up to you - by the end of March.

Send your entries via email to: [email protected]. Postal entries can be sent to Harrison Lord, 5 Bradford Road, Brighouse, HD6 1RW.
