Children's Art Competition
- Details
We are inviting young people to enter an art competition with the theme of Maritime Culture. By being creative entrants will see their work displayed at the Southampton Maritime Festival on 22/23 August 2014! Here a panel of VIP judges will choose the winners.
Winners' artwork will contribute to a mural which will be on display in the Port of Southampton. Winners will also receive a trophy at a special event which we hope to be in the Mayor's parlour.
Getting creative
The theme of the competition is Maritime Culture. An intentionally broad topic, this could include any period from
the Stone Age, to the science fiction of the future. Possible topics for artwork include: Sailors, smugglers, ships, shipwrecks, coastal scenes, fishing, maritime industry, and days out/holidays by the sea, or even just the sea itself.
All materials are welcomed. We can’t wait to see what fantastic things you can come up with!
Categories
1. Art - Ages 6 and under
2. Art - Ages 7 – 11 years old
3. Art – Ages 12 – 16 years old
Four finalists from each category will be selected before the event and their work highlighted as a finalist during the festival. All finalists will also be given a FREE family ticket for entry to the festival so family or friends may accompany them.
Format
