FAMILY FRIENDLY FUN AT THE FESTIVAL
This year Gloucester Goes Retro is the host of two competitions that you can take part in - The Colin Organ Photography Competition and The Best Dressed Competition.
THE COLIN ORGAN PHOTO COMPETITION
​
In honour of the late great Cllr Colin Organ, the founder of festival, we are running the Gloucester Goes Retro Photo Competition. With so many wonderful cars, pieces of vintage fashion and amazing performers around, this festival is a great place to take amazing photos.

The photos will be judged by an expert panel including the family of Cllr Colin Organ. The winning snap will be used to promote future festivals, and it'll be seen far and wide! The winner will also receive £100 of high street gift vouchers!
