There is every reason to believe that the Independent on Sunday will publish a Christmas Details Competition 2011 on this coming Sunday, 18th December. There was no competition last year because of the illness of Tom Lubbock who died in the New Year. Since then the Competition has been set by Jennie Gilbert. In my opinion, there has been an increase in the number of more modern pictures in the Competition, something which I think may well be repeated in the Christmas Competition.
It will be intriguing to see what choices have been made. Tom Lubbock used to throw in pictures from old competitions, but no matter what he did, every year quite a number of people found all the answers.
Sometimes mistakes are made in the publishing of the details so one year a minute part of one painting was selected as a detail by mistake by magazine staff. Tom Lubbock excluded this from the Competition proper, even though some people did manage to find the answer.
Does anyone know in which year the first Christmas Competition was set by Tom Lubbock and what all the details were that he set? I think it was in 1994. The first weekly competition was set in September 1990.
Here was the last Christmas Details Competition that ever appeared which was two years ago in 2009.
