Marshall's Yard launches arty challenge with a special Mother’s Day theme for local youngsters

The ‘Draw Your Mum’ competition encourages youngsters to get creative and come up with their own artistic interpretation of their Mum – giving one youngster the chance to win a special Mother’s Day prize for their Mum.

A special hamper of Mother’s Day goodies will be gifted to the winner - children are asked to draw their Mum and write a short message about why their Mum is so amazing.

The competition has been organised to celebrate Mother’s Day and give children the chance to say a big thankyou to their Mums for everything they do for them.

Children wishing to participate in the competition, can pick up an entry sheet at Browns Department Store, Caldero Lounge and The Works - completed entries must be handed in at the same stores by the end of March 30.

All entries must provide their name, age, and a parental contact telephone number.

Entries will be judged by the centre management team and the winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 1.

Melissa Clement, centre manager, said: “There are some great Mother’s Day gifts and cards in our stores here at Marshall’s Yard so we thought this would be a really nice way to say a big thank you to all the brilliant Mums out there.

“We are really looking forward to seeing all the fantastic artwork that the children come up with.”

Entries will be displayed in the Engine House at Marshall’s Yard so the budding young artists and their families have the chance to see their drawings on display.
