Local artists and groups have the chance to represent the Bailiwick in the UK next year, marking 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.
The project, which is being organised by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, will see 75 chosen artworks from across the country be displayed at the 2020 HMD ceremony.
Its theme is 'Stand Together', with each entry representing a memorial flame.
The Guernsey Arts Commission has applied for entry on behalf of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm and is asking for groups of any age to get involved.

A strong concept of the flame should be in by 30 September, weighing a maximum of 5kg. The artwork will need to be robust enough to be wrapped, transported and handled several times and must not include glass. Other than that, the piece can be made using any material or artistic technique.
A judging panel from each island will decide on which flame should go forward to be entered in the 75 Memorial Flames Project.
The remaining flames will be used for a localised Holocaust Memorial Day exhibition.
An artists' brief and entry forms are available here.
The Community Arts Development Co-ordinator, Jade Kershaw, can be contacted on 709747 or jade.kershaw2@gov.gg for more information.
Holocaust Memorial Day will be held on 27 January 2020.
