Postcard Competition

Enter our new Postcard design competition ! Boultham Park Lake Restoration Project are running an art competition for children and young people aged 5 to 18, inviting you to get creative and show people the area you want to live in the future. Our design a Postcard art competition aims to encourage young people to capture their hopes for local parks in the future.
Whether it’s covered in wind turbines and solar panels, or there aren’t any visitors dropping plastic wrappers – Maybe the lake is teeming with native wildlife and there are only bicycles parked in the carparks ?– we want you to paint, draw or design a piece of art that shows how you’d like your local park to look in the future.
The competition is a platform to raise awareness about the environmental issues important to you and to move others to take action through the creation of your work.

Artwork on the Lake

 

The five artwork pieces have now landed by the edge of the lake – each piece has an information panel on a lectern next to it, providing interesting background on many facets of the park and lake through the years. Once the new footpaths open you will be able to see them close up on your walk around the lake. (Click on each panel to open a bigger image to read them)
