NEW competitions including art, photography and a dog show, have been confirmed ahead of the upcoming Stockton Heath Festival.
The event, which takes place from July 4-7, has announced four competitions for guests to get involved in.
The first is a scarecrow or window display where traders can display their creations between June 23 and July 6.
Amateur artists can also get involved by submitting their work and entrants should email helendutton@virginmedia.com for more information.
Photographers, both under and over 16, should visit the Stockton Heath festival competition page for more information about how to enter and capture the excitement of the day.
By far the most popular event, the dog show, will take place on July 7 with categories such as best puppy and waggiest tail.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on June 7 and can be bought from the What's On pages of the website, or the box office at the Forge Shopping Centre in the village.
