ARTISTS from across Victoria have confirmed Pyramid Hill’s status as the first major competition of the year.
A record 300 entries have been received for the third annual Major’s Vision art show and competition that will be officially opened next week.
Show organiser Terry Wood said the response from artists had been amazing and showed continued growth in the week-long event. 
“We have been able to increase prizemoney this year to $7000 - that has certainly helped attract a very high calibre of artists entering their work in our show,” he said.
“To have 70 more entries than last year is wonderful, backing up the faith of our sponsors who have again put their support behind the event. Local businesses, regional businesses are at the core of this progress association initiative that is both a celebration of creative industry and of our town and its famous hill.”
Mr Wood said the high standard of entries received would go before judge Joy Tatt ahead of opening night and award announcements on February 14.
