Broomhill National Sculpture Prize Exhibition – NOW OPEN

10 Sculptors, 1 Exhibition, who wins – you decide!

For adventure, intrigue and certainly the unexpected, a must visit this Summer is the NSP Exhibition at Broomhill Sculpture Park, nr Barnstaple. Ten UK based sculptors selected by a top judging panel have been thrust together in a bid to win the 2011 NSP title.

Each of the ten finalists were given a £1,000 budget and 3 months to turn their proposed idea into an inspiring finished piece for the Exhibition.

“We’re thrilled with how this year’s exhibition has come together, the ten sculptors each have a very different approach, the combination of quality, imagination and variety elevates this exhibition above anything we’ve done before. If you’re anything like me you’ll be romanced, shocked, in awe, curious…it’s inspiring not to mention full of surprises! Many thanks to our sponsors for their support in making this possible.” — Rinus van de Sande

Yahoo is dead long live the Bing There is something about the Yahoo’s Site Explorer that makes me feel comfortable, like a pair of well worn slippers. It is with great sadness that I read this great optimization tool is to be given the bullet. If you compare Bing’s equivalent set of tools – quite frankly there are massive gaps. Yahoo is dead long live the Bing.
