Art competition provides exciting half-term project

Artist Debbie Baxter, of Hub Co-Create Cambridge, and Dumbletons Studios are working together to promote an art competition for six to 15-year-olds to celebrate the Year of the Tree 2020.

The task is to paint a tree, or trees, in any medium in any situation from life or imaginary and in any size – but not photography.

Frances Dumbleton and Debbie will judge the best entries and these will then be showcased in the Cambridge Independent. Readers will then choose a winner and two runners-up.

The top 30 will be displayed in the gallery at Hub Co-Create in Milton Road for public viewing over Christmas with the three winners in pride of place in the window.

The winner and two runners-up will receive:

• First place: a two-hour art class with Debbie and 50 greetings cards with envelopes made of their winning picture
• Second place: a two-hour art class with Debbie and 12 long-handled acrylic paint brushes
• Third place: a two-hour art class with Debbie.

All entries must be submitted from today (October 22) and November 12 and the winning entries will be announced the following week.
