A panel of judges will select a Winner in both categories, who will receive:

Under-16 Winner: a Nikon Coolpix P500 camera *

* A voucher alternative to each camera will be available on request.
The Exhibition

The Post Office in Pictures is an exhibition showcasing a selection of inspiring images sourced from the vast collections of The British Postal Museum & Archive.

From strange creatures sent through the post, to the daily deliveries by land, sea and air to every corner of the country, the photos featured offer a fascinating series of windows on Britain from the 1930s to 1980s – including some of the more unusual, unexpected and unseen activities of the Post Office and its people.

Swindon-based artists from Artsite Ltd. will give the exhibition a contemporary twist, with an art installation inspired by the archive images.

The Post Office in Pictures exhibition is open at the Post Modern in Swindon between 6 October and 5 November 2011. Free entry – donations welcome.
