A proposed Welsh Language Measure that will lead to rights for Welsh speakers to receive services in Welsh, has been published on 4^th March 2010. For more information go to the Welsh Assembly Government website.

The sponsors are looking for a good cross-section of quality Welsh art, ranging from avant-garde to more traditional. A total prize of £2,000 is on offer for the winners.  Winning the competition enables the artists’ work to be seen by a wider audience and provides the opportunity for them to meet other influential world-class artists. The competition is open to any artist over the age of 18, living and working in Wales, and any Welsh artists living in the UK. The 2010 entry deadline is 24 February 2010. For more information please visit the Saint Davids Hall website.
