Parallax Art Fair Free Raffle 21/07/2018- 22/07/2018

20/07/2018

To coincide with my professional level exhibition at the Parallax Art Fair, Kensington Town Hall, London I am running a free raffle. Promotional flyers have been available at the event. One entrant will be chosen by random selection as the winner. The prize will be that the successful entrant will be invited to send me a found image of their choice which I will then digitally manipulate in the manner of my abstract works. The final image will be sent on to the winner completely free of charge.

For your chance to win, please just submit your name and email address to the Contacts section here at neilwilsonartworlds.com.
There can be only one winner, and all entrants have an equal chance.

The raffle closes and the draw will be made on the same day, 21/08/2018.

Looking foward to colaborating with you, good luck to all!
