CHILDREN’S
POSTER COMPETITION 2014
Once again,
we had an excellent response to our invitation to local schools, nurseries and
youth groups to take part in the Clacton Carnival Poster Competition. Six
primary schools, six youth groups and one nursery took part, with a total of 237
posters being submitted. The judges were Caroline Hunt, Sarah Junczyk, John
Roberts and Kelly Roberts, from Space Kingdom – who also generously sponsored
the competition.
This year,
the theme for the Carnival is ‘Fairy Tales,’ so many of the posters illustrated
classics such as Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and the Three
Little Pigs. Events during carnival week including the Donkey Derby and the
Sandcastle Competition were also shown on many of the children’s posters.
The
Presentation Evening was held on the 9th June at Space Kingdom, where
winners were presented with prizes, certificates and rosettes by the Carnival
Queen and her Princesses. All
the children were allowed to play in the
Kingdom aftrerwards. The winning posters will be displayed in Clacton Library
from the 14th June until the 15th July and a selection put
up in Space Kingdom.
Many thanks
to all those who have helped to make this year’s Poster Competition a success;
Clacton Library, Space Kingdom and of course the schools, nurseries and youth
groups for taking part.
