Still time to enter PDA’s Apprentice of the Year competition

To promote excellence early in their careers, apprentice decorators are given the opportunity to demonstrate their painting skills in the annual Apprentice of the Year competition from the Painting & Decorating Association.

The competition offers apprentices from across the UK the opportunity to test their painting skills against their peers in a six-hour contest. Competitors are tasked with replicating a given design, testing not only their accuracy and skill, but their ability to perform under pressure.

Entries close next week, on Friday 13th February, and the competition is open to any UK registered painting and decorating apprentice.

For more info and to enter, visit the PDA’s website.
