The Leongatha Art and Photography Show is accepting entries for its three-week exhibition.

Organised by the Rotary Club of Leongatha, the exhibition will be held from Saturday 14 January to Saturday 4 February, 2023.

The annual show is the perfect opportunity for artists in the area to display their work to an interested audience and have their work purchased by prospective buyers.

Each year the show has entries from more than 550 artists and photographers from Gippsland, Melbourne, regional Victoria and interstate.

Prizes for the artwork total over $6000 and include awards for different art mediums such as photography and 3D art, such as sculptures. Other award categories include junior sections and an all abilities section.

Attendees will be required to pay a $5 entrance fee to attend the show, which will be open daily from 10am to 4pm.

A raffle will also be held at the exhibition. All proceeds made from the event will be donated to local charities and services.

Entries for the show close on Wednesday 14 December.
