Contests

Art Contest: Medieval Fantasy

With “I Am Marc Chagall,”  a story about the life of the famous artist, in this issue, and one of Chagall’s beautiful paintings on our cover, Ladybug thought it was clearly time for an art contest. (She has already started working on a beautiful self-portrait titled “I Am Ladybug!”) But after Tater read “How to Disguise a Nobel Prize” and “Zafarin’s Challenge,” he was more interested in researching the scientific discoveries of medieval alchemists.

So Cricket suggested a compromise—a medieval fantasy art contest. Whether your artistic taste runs to alchemists and wizards or dragons and knights, everybuggy in Ye Olde Cricket Country will be jousting around the Cricket Country mailbox waiting to win the fair hand of your best medieval fantasy art. Forsooth!
