SCHOOL ART COMPETITION
GET CREATIVE IN OUR SCHOOL ART COMPETITION
This year at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, we are inviting local schools to participate in our first ever Art Competition! Open for children between the ages of four and 14, schools can submit entries by post using the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Art Competition Canvas.
Lucky gold, silver, and bronze winners will receive complimentary packages for them and their family to spend a magical day with us, as well as have their artwork displayed at Winter Wonderland for all our guests to enjoy.
The theme?
We want you to show off your artistic flair with artwork that captures what ‘Winter Wonderland’ means to you. Take inspiration from Hyde Park, the event, or anything that makes you feel festive!
HOW DO I ENTER?
To enter, follow these three easy steps…
Download
Download and print the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Art Competition Canvas and Parent Consent Form. Students can either take the Canvas home to create their artwork or teachers can celebrate the festive season early by including it in an art lesson.
Get Creative
Students can design their artwork in either pencil, paint or ink, using landscape orientation on the A4 Art Competition Canvas. Make sure each student’s age, name and school is written clearly in the designated space. This step is very important for us to contact you if this is a winning piece of art!
Submit the artwork
In an envelope, post your students’ artwork and signed consent forms to our freepost address. No need to add a stamp, simply write our address and take it to your nearest post box. When sending in your designs, please do not fold the artwork. Parents or guardians must read and sign the Parent Consent Form shared with the Art Competition Canvas for the entry to be valid. Unfortunately, we cannot accept digital copies of work at this time.
Note to teachers: When posting multiple students’ entries in one envelope, please ensure each submission has the student’s name, age, and school name clearly written on the page. Each child must also have a signed Parent Consent Form from their parent or guardian.
