GET CREATIVE IN OUR SCHOOL ART COMPETITION

Enter the artwork of the budding artists at your school to win a trip to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland!

The Theme?

Welcome to the world of the Magical Ice Kingdom, our walk-through ice attraction at Winter Wonderland. This year, our adventurer will be travelling through a Mythical, Mystical Fantasy World, journeying through the Four Realms of Earth, Fire, Air and Water with many different creatures of all shapes and sizes. We are calling on all young artists to design a woodland creature that you can imagine to see along your travels.

DESIGN YOUR OWN WOODLAND CREATURE….!

HOW DO I ENTER?

To enter, follow these four easy steps...

DOWNLOAD THE CANVAS

Download and print the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Art Competition Canvas and Consent Form. Students can either take the canvas home to create their artwork, or teachers can include it in an art lesson.
