Forgotten Object - Children's Competition
Is it rusty, is it old, is there a story to be told......?
Attics and sheds are full of old things from long ago. Do you have any interesting objects from the past? Does it have a story? What was it used for? Did someone in your family or a neighbour use it? We would like to hear about it.
Why not enter our competition! Find a ‘forgotten object’ and use it to make a drawing, painting, poem or short story.
There are two categories:
- Art: Drawing, painting, collage or photograph.
- Written: Poem, short story or essay.
- Single and group entries accepted.
- Art or written work should be based on the theme ‘forgotten objects’.
- Entries must include at least two sentences explaining why the student picked this object.
- All entries must be student’s original work.
- An entry form, signed by teacher, must accompany each work.
Entries clearly marked ‘School’s Competition’ will be accepted until the 23rd March 2012.
