The Chalkboards UK Photo Competition is really creating a lot of interest in how our chalkboards can be used. This month, we've come up with another great prize - a £100 Ticketmaster Gift Card, so the winner can decide which event they would like to go to!

All you have to do is send us a picture of one of our chalkboards in action to sales@chalkboardsuk.co.uk
The picture can be of any of our chalkboard products in use, such as - imaginative use of a chalkboard, a funny chalked message, a chalkboard in an unusual place - almost anything will do! Our Chalkboards UK judging panel will decide the winner.

Call us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@chalkboardsuk.co.uk for more information - and the best of luck to you all!

In the last nine years, Chalkboards UK has developed a comprehensive range of chalkboards and accessories for retailers; and the pub, bar and restaurant trades. However, in recent years there has been a growing trend for individual buyers searching on the internet for innovative and decorative chalkboards for their homes.

We have always had a selection of chalkboard products that can be used in the home or garden - 'to do' boards, chalkboard garden stakes, placemats and coasters for the kids to chalk on, educational chalkboards and stackable chalkboard storage boxes.

We are now introducing more and more chalkboards products for the home, like these distressed framed boards pictured here. We're launching new ideas all the time and you'll be able to see them on the website and our new Chalkboards UK Pinterest channel.

If you've got any bright ideas for home chalkboards, feel free to contact us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@chalkboardsuk.co.uk, you never know it might become a best selling product!
