After great deliberation, we will be printing and exhibiting the 15 images we felt fulfilled the criteria the best, around various venues in Adur and Worthing. Please check our Facebook/Instagram and this website for venue exhibition dates and details.
All entries were amazing and it was very difficult to choose 15 from them. Which ones are your favourite?
Thanks again for your interest and we all hope you enjoy being creative and inspired by our wonderful wildflowers and their pollinators, everyone at Green Tides.
