Nationwide art and poetry competition
Animal Aid invites your pupils to take part in its nationwide art and poetry competition. The theme is factory farming – a subject that stirs the emotions, fires the imagination and can provoke powerful artwork. Why not set this as a class project?
Factory farming has been in the national media in recent months due to the high profile campaigns by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver. This competition would give your students the opportunity to research this subject in greater detail and to express their own opinions – whatever they may be!
The competition is divided into three age categories: 11-13, 14-16, and 17-18. All entries should be clearly marked on the back with the student’s name, age and school address and sent to the Animal Aid office before 30th April 2008. We will be pleased to accept bulk entries from whole classes!
The winning entries will be displayed at a London event on 12th July, where TV presenter Wendy Turner-Webster will award the winners their prizes, which include a games console, ipod and digital camera.
For inspiration, posters, leaflets and factsheets on factory farming are available for free from Animal Aid, just email education@animalaid.co.uk.
Artwork can be submitted on any media – sculpture, drawing, painting, photography, computer graphic design. Sizes A5-A3 preferred (sculpture excluded).
Digital entries can be emailed to education@animalaid.co.uk, please ensure that the email includes student’s name, age and school address.
