The top three winning entries are decided by public vote during the day, and their photos posted on the Starchy Gallery web site. There are no prizes, just the joy of being creative, taking part and the chance of winning. Regrettably, potatoes are non-returnable.

This year�’s optional theme is to recreate classic art works from potatoes, although traditional celebrity entries are always welcome. All will be judged together. £1.00 per entry, all proceeds to the The Sydenham Garden, registered charity number 108100 www.sydenhamgarden.org.uk.
