Sofa Workshop – View from a Sofa competition

The team at Sofa Workshop in Edinburgh are looking to add some local flavour to their store and they need locals to help them do it.

To bring some of the picturesque scenery from around the capital indoors, the Sofa Workshop store at Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre is calling on you to take a photograph or draw a piece of art, of your favourite Edinburgh landmark, to win the chance to see it framed and displayed in store.

There are so many potential landmarks for budding photographers and artists that it is difficult to list them.

Sofa Workshop is encouraging local creative talent, ranging from professional artists and photographers to ordinary folk with a passion for painting to send in their entries for the chance to have their work exhibited in store.

Store manager, Angela Lockhart, said: “We’ve been getting to know the local community and customers across Edinburgh over the past few years and we really wanted to find out what it was that inspired people, what building or landmark really summed the city up and made them proud.”

“We’re looking for that shot that captures Edinburgh, its heritage and unique personality. The winning shot will take pride of place in the store for everyone to view and I’m really excited to see the entries.”

Deadline for entries is 24 June 2016 and you can enter by sending your photograph via email to prsofaworkshop@havasww.com or sending a CD in the post to Sofa Workshop, A View From A Sofa, Havas PR UK, 26 Palmerston Place, Edinburgh, EH12 5AL
