Tate kids
Competition for kids

BT, Tate and the Woodland Trust today announce a competition for children aged 6-12 years old, inviting them to design their own ‘scene of nature’. The competition marks BT’s initiative to donate 10,000 saplings to the Woodland Trust as part of their sponsorship of this year’s Isle of Wight Festival.

To enter the competition, children need to log onto http://kids.tate.org.uk/games/paint and create a picture in ‘Tate Paint’, which captures what the theme of ‘nature’ means to them - anything from a woodland scene to plants, animals, birds or water. ‘Tate Paint’ is an easy to use online programme that allows children to create illustrations online.

The competition, which launches today, is split into three categories: aged 6-7, 8-10 and 11-12 years old with prizes awarded to the winner in each category including family tickets to the Isle of Wight festival on 13th – 15th June, Tate Kids goody bags and Woodland Trust swatch books for leaf and wildflower identification. In addition, the winning designs will feature in an online gallery on http://kids.tate.org.uk/games/paint

BT, Tate and Woodland Trust representatives will sit on the judging panel to select the best entry from each category. The competition will run until 5th June.
