‘Journeys Through War’ Art Competition (7-18 years)

'Journeys Through War'

To celebrate our tenth anniversary, we are inviting children and young people to take part in a special art competition around the theme of 'Journeys through War'. The competition is open to any young person aged 7-18 years and can be artwork on paper or digital media.

For inspiration, you might want to use some of the stories in the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum or the family workshops as a starting point: such as the journey of a glider pilot landing on D-Day; a child evacuee travelling to a new home in the countryside; a spy pigeon flying from France to Britain with a coded message.

We would love to see your work!

Art Exhibition

Artworks will be displayed in the exhibition ' Journeys through War' from Saturday 19th October - Sun 17 November.

Digital media will be displayed on a screen. Paper works should be no larger than A2 (42 x 59.4cm) but can be smaller. The age group categories are: a) 7-10 years,  b) 11-14 years, c)  15-18 years.  A prize will be awarded to the winner in each of these categories. Paper artwork can include any media such as drawing, painting, collage, words.
