Budding artists are being invited to enter a town art competition marking the publication of Newtown's Place Plan.
Newtown Town Council has launched the "Our Newtown: Big Art Competition"which is open to all ages.
The competition is inviting entries that show "What I love about Newtown."
Lead Councillor for the Place Plan, Cllr Richard Edwards, said: “Everything about Newtown Place Plan is big. From all evidence that was collected to the huge amount of time and energy that the community contributed to get it done. 'Our Town, Our Plan' shows us a way forward to creating a town where people want to live, work and visit. And now comes Our Newtown: Big Art Competition."
Our Town, Our Plan: The Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Place Plan 2021-2036 is a 15-year plan for the future of the town. It was put together with the involvement of 48 local organisations and based on over 7,000 comments and ideas from the community.
