Art Competition - Carnival of the Animals
Age group: 12 and under
Deadline: Monday 17th May 2021
​
On Sunday 13th June, we will be performing Saint-Saëns’ ‘Carnival of the Animals’ – a collection of musical pieces, each one describing a particular animal. This piece is a wonderful way for children to be introduced to classical music and its ability to engage, excite and inspire. In order to encourage further engagement, what could be better than to create art inspired by the music? Festival Fresco’s Art Competition invites all children aged 12 and under to take part and have a go!
Participants will be required to choose an animal from the list below and to depict them through any art medium they want to use (this can include 3D creations too!)
​
Lion Donkeys
Hens/Roosters Cuckoo
Tortoises Exotic Birds
Elephant Pianists
Kangaroos Fossils
Aquarium Swan

The Prize: Winning artworks will be featured in our lunchtime concert on Sunday 13th June before the relevant piece/animal. This will be a live-streamed concert on YouTube.
Results will be sent out by Monday 7th June. All participants will be sent the YouTube link for the live-streamed lunchtime concert on Sunday 13th June (exact time TBC).
We will do our best to feature all contributions at the end of the concert (number of entries depending) – so regardless of whether you win or not, your art piece will most likely be included in the video!
