CHILDREN'S ART CONTEST
Our art contest is back by popular demand! Italian Week is inviting Ottawa’s children and youth ages 4 to 17 to submit artwork inspired by what they love about Italian culture.
GRAZIE TO THE ITALIAN EMBASSY IN OTTAWA FOR SUPPORTING THE CHILDREN’S ART CONTEST
“WHERE THE SPIRIT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE HAND, THERE IS NO ART.”
Leonardo da Vinci
We encourage children and youth ages 4-17 to submit their creations celebrating Ottawa’s Italian culture and heritage. Your submissions will be featured on social media — Tag us!
The deadline to submit is Friday, June 4, 2021. After all the entries are received, a judging committee will select the winners.
To make this accessible for all, we ask that all artwork be made on a standard letter size paper (8.5”x11”). Children and youth can use pencil crayons, paints, pastels, or mixed media. Take a photo with your artwork and submit it along with a completed form.
Following the success of our 2020 stories, Strega Nona returns by popular demand! This year, we will be featuring three exciting new stories— Strega Nona: Her Story, Strega Nona Meets Her Match, and Big Anthony: His Story.
Attendees will be entered into a random draw for their chance to win a gift basket valued at $100.00, which includes:
• Four books signed by a local Italian Author (Little Voice EN/FR, and The Lighthouse EN/FR)
• Two bookmarks
• Two art prints
• One pack of crayons
• Colouring pages
Thank you Amanda at Little Voice Books for generously providing this gift basket!
