An art and craft competition, which has attracted more than 100 entries, will be judged at a grand final being in Wantage.

In February, The Vale Housing Association launched its contest for both association tenants and other local residents and received 105 entries from 40 people.

Heats were held in Abingdon, Botley, Faringdon and Wantage, and two pieces of work were selected to go through to the final from each heat, with three going through from Abingdon after a tie.

The grand final will take place at the Vale and Downland Museum in Wantage on Thursday and will be judged by Ken Messer, a local artist from Chilton, at 2pm.

Shortlisted entries will be on show in the museum's upper gallery all week, from today until Saturday.

Bill Fuller, a scheme manager for the association, trustee of the museum and one of the judges for the heats, said: "The standard of entries was very impressive."
