The summer holidays are upon us and it’s raining of course. This week we are going to set to and do a little art activity in the hope of winning a lovely prize from The Old Rep Theatre Birmingham. Even if we don’t win our art may be shown in their gallery, the kids would be really excited about that.
I’ll be writing more about the competition soon and how we get on with our entries, in the meantime here is some information from The Old Rep in case you fancy a way of keeping the kids occupied during the summer holidays.
To celebrate The Old Rep’s upcoming Christmas
production, we would like to invite you to design your very own Treasure
Island! Whether you dream of pirates, sailing ships, mermaids, buried gold, or
something completely different, we want to see what your fantasy island would
look like. Let your imagination run wild with colours, paint, glue, glitter –
you can use anything you like to create your artistic masterpiece. Make sure
it’s bright and eye-catching so it will really stand out!
We are offering a fantastic prize for the winning
entry. Your artwork will be featured on the front cover of our Treasure Island programme,
which will be available at The Old Rep from Friday 20th November to Sunday 3rd
January. The winner will also receive five free tickets for Treasure Island, as
well as the opportunity to meet our pirate cast.
However, even if you are not the lucky winner, your
picture may still be displayed in the theatre. We are going to create a gallery
of as many entries as possible. When you come to see the show you can have fun
searching for your drawing, and marvelling at what everyone else has produced.
To enter the Treasure Island art competition, you
need to submit a picture of your fantasy Treasure Island to The Old Rep by Saturday
10th October 2015. This can be done in two different ways: either
post your artwork to Treasure Island Art Competition, The Old Rep, Station
Street, Birmingham, B5 4DY, or scan your picture and email it to treasureislandart@oldreptheatre.co.uk.
This competition is open to children of up to 12
years. Please make sure that you include your full name, age and a contact
telephone number with your entry. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to return your picture.
The winner will be chosen by a celebrity judge in
November, so keep an eye on The Old Rep’s website and
Facebook page.
What are you waiting for? Get creative and design
your very own Treasure Island to be in with a chance of winning!
