Competition Now Closed - Win an original Mary Duffy painting

Article text
Me, Starting Out, a self-portrait, 2006
Tell me why you want it. The best story wins the prize. The prize is the original framed painting that features in your story. The only possible fly in the ointment is if the painting of your choice is sold between now and then. If this happens, and you are the winner, you can have your choice of any of my other paintings that are still available on or after February 1st. 2010

Here are a few other guidelines....
• Your entry can be written or recorded (even on my voice mail). You don't have to be a great writer, but you just need a good reason and a good story.

• It has to be about your personal reason for wanting it.

• I will put the entries up on this website. I will include your name (unless you ask me not to).

• If you win, and you live on the island of Ireland, you will be responsible for picking up your prize from me. I will help as much as I can. If you live off this island, I will arrange the shipping of the painting unframed for free (the painting can't be shipped with the frame).

Anybody can enter.... and no one will be excluded... neither near neighbours, close friends, total strangers nor blood relatives...

You can enter as many times as you like between now and the closing date, January 31st.

The closing date is January 31st, 2010

Sold paintings are available to view on the archive page of my website. Because of this, they are included in the competition, but you can't win them as a prize. However, you could write about one that has been sold, and choose a different piece as your prize.
