Writing & Illustration Competition re: 1901 History

Regional Classics Pty Ltd have created a new event in Parkes called the 1901 Fest. The festival will be held in December and January with funds raised going to support a new indoor swimming pool in Parkes. The festival includes activities such as illustration and story writing competitions. To enter school students are required to write a story from the perspective of a person living in Parkes during Federation. For the illustration - do what you feel is a reflection of what a person living in Parkes during Federation would be exposed to. Students can also write or illustrate a picture about the town they live in - if they want to - but remember it must reflect the year 1901. There are some great prizes to be won. The entry fee is $5 and one entry per person. For details collect an entry form at Orange City Library or Forbes Library. Or for more details go to the web: www.regionalclassics.com.au. For further enquiries call 1300 393 013. Good Luck.
