The 20th Great Northern AV Festival was held over the weekend of 5th to 7th December. We had a new organising committee, new venue & new format. The event was a huge success with 53 entries & around 100 people attending over the weekend. There was a new competition, 'New Horizons' open only to those who have not received an award in a National or International competition. This attracted 20 entries, 16 made with PTE. Almost all of the entrants were new to major competitions & for some it was their first sequence. All these authors were given constructive comments on the day by the Judges & will also receive written feedback on their entries. The main 'Great Northern' competition attracted 33 entries, 32 made with PTE. The full results can be found on www.gnfestival.org.uk The 21st Great Northern will be held on 4th to 6th December 2015. Entry is restricted to UK, Northern & Southern Ireland & overseas members of UK Clubs. Jill
