Roundhouse 150th Anniversary Art Competition

We are creating an abridged film version of the Roundhouse Community Play “Down the Line” by Kevin Fegan. Renamed “Lock Down the Line” we will be featuring a variety of art forms in the new film. These pieces of art will also be put on display in the Cultural Lockdown Exhibition being held by partner organisation Kakou CIC in 2021.

2020 marks the 150th anniversary of the opening of Barrow Hill Roundhouse. Sadly our plans to celebrate this remarkable achievement have had to be put on hold until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, we can still mark the Roundhouse’s 150th year virtually by filling social media with creative images depicting the amazing history of this special place. To do this we need YOU to get creative and enter our competition!

There are three simple steps to enter:

• Create a piece of art inspired by the theme “The history of Barrow Hill Roundhouse” – this can be in any medium you choose.
• Take a photograph and send it along with this entry form (download here) to learning@barrowhill.org.
• Complete the short accompanying online form.

There are three categories:

• Age 10 and under
• Age 11 to 16
• Over 16 – to any age!

The deadline for entries is Monday 19th October 2020.

Prizes
All the winning entries will be put on display in the Roundhouse as part of its 150th Anniversary Exhibition when it reopens in 2021. Winners in each category will also receive:

1st Prize: £20 Voucher to spend in the Roundhouse Shop and a Family Entry Ticket
2nd Prize: £10 Voucher to spend in the Roundhouse Shop and a Family Entry Ticket
3rd Prize: £5 Voucher to spend in the Roundhouse Shop and a Family Entry Ticket

All entries will feature in “Lock Down the Line’ and will be displayed on the Roundhouse Facebook page. In 2021 the art pieces will also form part of a larger Cultural Lockdown Exhibition featuring diverse art forms created by our community (details to follow in 2021).
