New Art Contest: Talent Show

Pudding was thrilled with the idea of a TV show for young performers like Talent Sprouts. She’s encouraging everybuggy to try out a new act. Marty is working on twirling a dozen pizzas  while doing a 360 toe flip on his skateboard. Ladybug is rehearsing a dramatic reading of all her favorite poems (her own). George and Tail, of course, are practicing a duet, which they are calling “Underground Movement.” Sluggo thinks his easy-to-learn new dance (just one step) might get a virus—er, go viral. So for this month’s contest, everybuggy would love to applaud your best art of a boffo new act for a talent show.

 

Will your act be something you really might or would like to do on TV—like playing your violin or tap dancing? Or will you dream up an act that exists only in your imagination, like flying over the audience? Perhaps your art will feature a fearless circus performer or an amazing magician. Or you might draw your dog (or salamander) doing a silly pet trick, or aliens doing silly alien tricks, or showcase dancing bears playing trombones while in tutus (too too cute!). You might even draw a poster advertising your act with its snappy name at the top.

Cricket is always looking for bright new stars, so if you want  a chance to see your name up in lights (or just in the magazine), send us your best art of your great act for a talent show. Cue the applause!
