Levenshulme's ARThletic Awards

Competition and Workshop

As part of the festivities for the Torch Procession, we are organising an art competition and workshop. Anyone is welcome to enter and win special arty prizes - and it's free!

The competition is to...

Design a medal or trophy for an imaginary game/race

Ideas...

What would you include as a race for Levenshulme's own Games...?
Egg and Spoon?
Fastest Spaghetti eating contest?
The Quickest to solve a sum while spinning?

Anything you can think of that could be a game or race - and you have to design the winner's award - either a medal or trophy! Have a think and design something. It can just be a drawing of what it would look like.

There are 4 age ranges:
Up to 7
8 - 11
12 - 14
15 Upwards

If you or a group you are invovled with would like to be part of a workshop (or would like to run one where you meet) or if you have any questions, please get in touch via the contact page.

Well done and Thank You to everyone who took part in the competition. There were some brilliant entries.
The judges were Philip Kennedy, Marnie Matthews and Stacey Coughlin from Bankley Studios and Gallery and Brenda Harkin. We had a fun time going through them all. Unfortunately there were not enough entries in two of the categories, so 4 were chosen from the other two.

And so, here are the winners!

1st - Lola Grace Oldham - 'Fastest Pea Eating Competition with Chop Sticks'
2nd - Isla Young - 'The Hand Stand Competition'
3rd - Isla Burton - 'Trophy'
Runner Up - Conor - 'Hurdles'

Runner Up - Aliya Mahmood - 'Slow Motion Race'

And a special honory mention goes to Nick Young - who was our oldest creative entry with "Unicycle with a pint on your head down the A6".

Thanks again for everyone taking part and coming to the workshop as well. Hope you all had a fun morning watching the torch go past and being part of the community spirit! Have a look at some of the pics of the project below.
