Anchors and Juniors Art Competition

The theme for the 2008/9 Art Competition is "Pets".

Medium: Mosaic on A4 or smaller size paper.
Mosaic pieces to be no bigger than 1cm by 1cm. Squares of sticky paper and sticky labels will be permitted. Fun fur fabric in the square shapes would also make the mosaics of pets more realistic and more exciting for the boys.

The deadline for entries to be received by Ruth Jones at her home address (which can be found on the 1st Bletchley page in the Battalion directory) is 31st May. Contact Ruth Junes for more information.
