Contests

New ART Contest: Travel Adventure

This Cricket takes you on adventures all over the world—to meet a gargoyle at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, to a festival of human towers in Spain, even under the sea on a dive to a coral reef. For this month’s contest, everybuggy would like to see your best drawing of something you would love to see or do if you traveled around the world.

What new customs and traditions might you experience when you visit other lands? Will you enjoy a springtime cherry blossom festival in Japan? Visit a Buddhist temple in China? Kiss the Blarney Stone in Ireland? Cross the moat of an English castle? Perhaps your travel itinerary will include spectacular new landscapes as you explore icy polar regions, fly over the African savanna in a hot-air balloon, hike the mountains of Tibet, or enjoy the scenic wonders of America’s national parks. Maybe you’ll explore important historical and archaeological sites, or go on an ecological adventure to observe rare rain-forest species or deep-sea creatures.

Whether your idea of adventure is climbing the pyramids in Egypt, hopping with the kangaroos in Australia, or sipping hot chocolate at a French café, everybuggy in Cricket Country will be putting on their hiking boots, swim flippers, and cross-country skiis as they prepare to be inspired by your best drawing of a travel adventure. All aboard!
