Erith and Thamesmead MP Teresa Pearce is urging musicians and film-makers to show off their skills.

Ms Pearce is supporting musicians and film-makers from Erith and Thamesmead by calling for local artists to enter Parliament’s two largest creative competitions, Rock the House and Film the House.

Founded by Mike Weatherley MP, the annual competitions offer the opportunity to put local musicians and film-makers in direct contact with leading figures in the two industries.

Ms Pearce said: "I welcome the return of Parliament’s most-hotly contested competitions, and would urge all local musicians and film-makers to enter Rock the House and Film the House.

"This is an excellent opportunity for Erith and Thamesmead to celebrate our local talent and, as all nominations are judged by industry experts, there is no finer chance for our musicians and film-makers to gain exposure."
