MNH launch Christmas decoration competition

by isleofman.com 17th November 2010

MANX National Heritage has launched its annual festive competition to design and make a Christmas decoration.

 

The competition is open to people of all ages and will be judged in three categories – children under eight, children over eight, and adults.

 

Katie King, community outreach and learning support officer for Manx National Heritage, said: "We want the decorations to be as bright, textured, and colourful as possible.

 

"They can be any shape and made from anything you can get your hands on. You could knit one, construct one out of paper mache or draw, colour, paint or glue materials onto our bauble template. This really is a competition to use all sorts of materials – anything goes."

 

Templates can be collected from the House of Manannan and the Manx Museum or printed out from here.

 

All entries should be submitted to the House of Manannan by Friday, December 3.

 

Entries will be displayed in a colourful Christmas exhibition and winning entries will be awarded prizes.

 

Winners will be announced on Saturday, December 4, at the House of Manannan before the Peel Commissioner's lantern competition and parade.
