This year Youth Action chose bees and pollinators for their Art Competition subject. We invited entrants to draw, paint or photograph a bee or any other pollinating insect. Why? Because they are amazing! Also they are very important to all of us as they help our fruit and vegetables to grow, they pollinate our food crops and if they disappeared we would all go hungry. We thought they needed celebrating!
All of us can help to make sure these insects stay safe by planting the flowers they love to visit, also by asking people to not use insecticides in their gardens in parks or on road verges.
Thank you to all who have sent us their Photographs and Artwork. We have had some fantastic entries this year, indeed they are all worthy of a prize! The competition itself will be judged by a local Nature artist and a member of MCA committee. Winners will be announced by the end of April
and have their certificates and prizes presented at ‘HuG’ the MCA Green Fair on Saturday 24 June at Foxlowe Arts Centre.
