Every year the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation conducts the Global Canvas Children's Art Competition to encourage creativity from young people, to display thought and concern for our planet's environment and the incredible wildlife that inhabits it.
All Sinnott students can participate in this free art contest.
The competition is split into 2 categories (group and individual) which are judged separately.
Groups require a minimum of 2 people. Groups must create a ‘display’ based on the theme to enter the competition. Find out how to create a display for Global Canvas.
Individuals can create an artwork of any size based on the theme.
Any art techniques can be used to create entries; including painting, sculpture, textiles, collages and we always like to see recycled materials.
The categories will then be judged in the following age groups:
Participants need to submit the online form which includes contact details and up to 3 clear images of their artwork.
They also have to submit a short video of their artwork via email.
The theme for the 2024 contest is "The Barometer of Life".
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure to help us prepare for bad weather. The Red List of threatened species measures the pressures acting on species and how many are left, which helps governments and wildlife charities prevent extinctions. That is why the ‘Red List’ of endangered species, developed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is often called the barometer of life.
The Red list was developed in 1964 and has grown into a searchable database of 150,000 animals and plants that anyone can use in their work to conserve wildlife. It contains information about where and how the animals and plants live, how many are left, the threats they are under and what we are doing to save them.
