Yet again Clacton Carnival had a great response from their invitation to Schools and Youth
groups to take part in the Children's Poster Competition and 220 posters were submitted. Five
Schools and five youth groups took part. The Committee would like to thank Space Kingdom who
sponsored the Competition with some great prizes. The Judges were Kelly Roberts and Caroline
Hunt from Space Kingdom and Lorraine Manners and Christine Bright from Clacton Library.
With the Carnival theme of "Musicals " this year, many of the posters depicted musical shows
such as the Lion King, Shrek and Wizard of Oz along with others of Carnival events of the week.
Prizes, certificates and rosettes where presented to the winners by the Carnival Queen and her
Princesses at a Prize Winners’ Evening held at Space Kingdom, Stephenson Road, Clacton on
Thursday 13th June. ‘Buzz’ the Space Kingdom Mascot was there too and the children got to play
in the Kingdom afterwards.
The winning posters will be on display in Clacton Library from 17th June -12th July. Carnival
would like to thank all those who helped to make this year's Poster Competition such a success,
including Clacton Library for a Collection and Display point for posters, the Sponsors and
Judges for taking on the Challenging task and lastly the Schools and Youth Groups for taking part.
