It’s our 50th birthday and we would like to invite children in years R to 6 attending local schools to celebrate with us. We are holding a competition to find a building that you really love and inspires you.
Since 1968, the Trust has been looking after Farnham’s historic buildings and making sure that they carry on being used and have a future. Farnham is very lucky to have so many beautiful buildings left, right through from its Norman Castle to modern buildings.
We would like to invite you to produce a piece of artwork or writing for entry into the competition. Prizes will be awarded to the best entries from each age category.
The three age categories are: Yrs R/1, Yrs 2/3/4 and Yrs 5/6.
Winning entries will be displayed at our special anniversary event being held on 13th October 2018 at the Bush Hotel.
Please return your entry to your school by the 14th September 2018 to allow us to select the winning entries before our anniversary in October.
There are two choices for the entry:
ART WORK
Can you produce a piece of artwork about a building that inspires you in or around Farnham?
- It should be a building that you see regularly and inspires you
- It should be labelled as to what building it is and which school you are from
- You can use pencil, crayon, watercolour, pastel, collage, whatever you prefer.
- It should be no smaller than A5 but no bigger than A4
PIECE OF WRITING
- It should be a building that you see regularly and inspires you
- It should be labelled as to what building it is and which school you are from
- Your writing should be no more than 500 words and can be hand written or word processed
- You can write in any style so it may be a short story, a poem, a piece of descriptive writing about why it inspires you. You choose.
Once you have completed your work, return it to your school by 14th September and a member of the Farnham Trust will collect it for judging.
Remember to stick a piece of paper with your name, age and school on the back of your piece of work.
Winners will be announced in early October as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations on 13th October 2018 at a special presentation event at the Bush Hotel in Farnham.
