The Ministry of Tourism and Investment is pleased to announce a call for entries to win EC$1300 by designing a poster for the Lion fish Derby Schools Art Competition.
This competition is open to students in Antigua and Barbuda, age 5 to 18 and the objective is to raise awareness within schools about the non-native Indo-Pacific lion fish and the far-reaching effects they have on our marine environment.
Students are invited to design a poster no smaller than 11″x 11″ and no larger than 18″x18″ using pencil-crayons, markers, water colours or airbrush.
Only one entry per student is permitted and artwork must depict the beauty of the lion fish, the effects it has on marine life, and how their numbers can be controlled.
The tagline “Eat them to beat them” must be included in the art-piece. At the back of each entry, students must include “Antigua Barbuda Lion fish Derby Schools Art Competition”, along with their name, age, school, contact information and the artist signature (if any).
All artworks must be submitted to the Ministry of Tourism and Investment, Government Offices Complex, Queen Elizabeth Highway; no later than 2:30 pm on Friday November 11, 2022.
A panel of judges will review, all entries and the winner will receive EC$1300, second place EC$650 and third place EC$390.
All entries will be displayed at the first ever Antigua and Barbuda Lion fish Derby on Sunday November 20, 2022.
