For the next two weeks, Celtic Connection will be introducing the contest in a few areas (on the Snap’d social media in Durham, Peterborough, Northumberland & #CelticConnectionCanada FB and FB #LakefieldFairyandDragonTrail pages as well as Instagram’s Celtic_Canada!). This contest is geared to get everybody pumped to being CREATIVE and doing something FUN! Celtic Connection will have a GRAND RE-OPENING ON SUMMER SOLSTICE!!! So, after you watch the LIVE (first time ever) Summer Solstice celebration at Stonehenge online, then YOU CAN VOTE FOR the FINAL SCULPTURES for 2020. Right now is the time to register and submit photos and/or video clips by email (or upload videos to WeTransfer)! Have you been working on your sculpture? There is still time! Start one today!
All entries have to be submitted to Mary McGillis at Celtic Connection by Saturday, June 13, 2020 (email above or We Transfer videos) and Mary will post a selfie video that weekend saying: “All 2020 sculptures are done! Check them all out and vote for your favs!” and these are the photos/videos that will be judged for the big $500 FIRST PRIZE!
YOU can judge the sculptures! YES, audience VOTES COUNT! There is a special category reserved for “public opinion” where it is worth 30% of the voting points.
YES! EVERY VOTE COUNTS! You can vote on the best sculpture and the judges will vote by the criteria below AND if there is a different one that the public votes for that doesn’t win, we will have a runner up “Popular Vote” Prize Package that will be of 300$ value minimum! Check it out and see if the most likes is the actual winner in your mind. FUN. That is the name of this contest. No one will post their own pics, all entries have to be emailed to and make sure you get a response when you send your sculpture in by email; the BIG FAIRY AND DRAGON SCULPTURE entries that fit the criteria below will be posted by Mary McGillis/CelticConnection, 1 by 1 as separate comments, on Facebook #CelticConnectionCanada. Then they each come with their own LIKE button. ISN’T THIS AWESOME! YEEHAW!!!
