This October half-term, YorKAOS and SPARK are running an art competition for kids and young creators. Yes, it’s a competition, but the real winner is Door84. Every penny of the £3 entry fee goes to the charity, a York youth and community centre that runs youth sessions, inclusive sessions for adults with disabilities, a community café and a food bank.
Your child can enter in one of four categories: Halloween-themed art, drawing, mixed media, or photography (printed, A4 or smaller). Category winners will receive experiences at top local York attractions.
What you need to know
- Entry: £3 per piece, with a maximum of two entries per child.
- Materials: Paper and basic colouring supplies are available from the SPARK Site Office all week, or your child can use their own. Physical entries must be on white A4 paper.
- Hand in at Spark: Monday 26 October (from 12:00 PM) to Friday 30 October (by 3:00 PM). The competition runs 12-6PM each day.
