Competition

Show organisers, the Hertfordshire Agricultural Society, are inviting school children to take part in an art competition with a Futuristic/Technology theme.

Titan the Robot is visiting the show this year. So, children, use your imagination and send in paintings or models or any piece of artwork with your creative ideas about the future. Perhaps a farm machine for the future, or a human being or an animal of the future with special powers, or even something different that we might eat in the future…

Prizes

  • The winning school for each category will receive £150 cash prize and a free class ticket to Willows Farm Village in London Colney (excluding transport arrangements.) Terms and conditions apply.
  • The nominated child from each school for each age category will receive one complimentary advance family ticket to the County Show worth £32.80 (two adults and two children).

How to enter

There are three age categories:

  • Age 3 to 6 years
  • Age 7 to 9 years
  • Age 10 to 11 years

Schools can enter all three categories if they wish, but can only submit one entry per category. The closing date is Friday, 3rd May 2013 and all entries must be sent to:

County Show Competition
Room 322
County Hall CHO317
Pegs Lane
Hertford
SG13 8DQ

Don’t forget to include the pupil’s name and age along with the school name and a contact person’s details with your entries so that we know who to contact if you win!

Unfortunately, we cannot return entries, however, schools/winners can pick up their entries from the showground at the end of the show on Sunday, May 26th if they wish.

How will the artwork be judged?

The artwork will be displayed at the show and final judging will take place on Saturday, May 25th at the show. There will be one winner per category.
