Swire Ridgeway Arts Prize 2021 The Ridgeway – the oldest road in Britain – was a trackway providing a reliable trading route from the Dorset coast along the chalk Downs to the Wash in Norfolk. Today it is not only the oldest road but is also a wonderful resource for all the communities that live along its route, where all can enjoy walking, riding or just being there. The Friends of The Ridgeway have established an annual arts competition and prize – the Swire Ridgeway Arts Prize. In 2020 this had to be cancelled. For 2021, it will be held in April; if practical and possible, there will be an exhibition in Thomas Hughes Memorial Hall, Uffington on Saturday and Sunday 24 25 April 2021; if not possible there will be an online exhibition and prize giving. The aim of the competition is to bring The Ridgeway to life not only as a long distance trail but also as an artistic inspiration, and to show The Ridgeway, its history and environs, in all their aspects throughout all seasons. The theme of the competition is ‘Spirit of the Ridgeway’.
The main points of the prize competition are: • There will be separate classes for painting, sculpture (including ceramics and textiles), photography and writing (poetry or prose) • Competition is open to artists, amateur and professional, of any age • Art work submitted must be produced in the 24 months prior to closing date • The results of the competition will be announced and prizes awarded at the Ridgeway Friends Day planned for 25 April 2021 or online at that time • The closing date for entries shall be one month prior to the Ridgeway Friends Day (i.e. 25 March 2021); • The full rules of the competition are given in a separate document. All entrants will receive one year’s membership of The Friends of The Ridgeway. Each category winner will receive a keeper prize plus £100. The overall winner will receive a keeper prize plus £250 and a trophy.

"I contacted Ashridge Home Care just before lockdown for COVID 19 as my very elderly parents had previously only had daily care for 3 hours a day. They were extremely professional and efficient and within 4 days we had a full-time carer move in. I can’t recommend Ashridge more highly.”
