Cartoon Network looking for artistic learners
Primary School learners invited to tap into the wildest imagination and draw an animation hero
JOHANNESBURG – The Cartoon Network on channel 301 on DSTV launched its 10th Animation Generation competition on April 30, in partnership with schools nationwide.
They are holding a drawing competition which promotes the art of illustration and encourages imaginative creativity.
Pierre Branco, vice president Southern Europe and Africa for Turner Broadcasting System, said: “The competition is a unique initiative from Cartoon Network, which aims to harness the passion of our viewers and contribute something back to the local communities in which we operate. In 2015 our message to the youth will be to adopt heroic behaviour, by being a helpful civilian and generous towards others. We hope to encourage and inspire our viewers to unleash their creativity, limited by nothing but their imagination and we look forward to seeing the entries roll in.”
Learners are invited to enter and stand a chance of winning amazing prizes. Up for grabs are iPads, Blackberrys, iPods and cash prizes for the top three winners and schools in every age group. The school with the most entries will be receiving a cash prize of R10 000. The overall individual winner of the competition will have the opportunity to get his/her drawing animated and it will be showcased live on-air on Cartoon Network.
There are three categories which learners can enter: six to eight years, nine to 11 years and the final category of 12 to 14 years. Drawings can be entered online via the Animation Generation website www.cartoonnetworkafrica.com/animationgeneration or via post to: HDI Youth Marketeers Animation Generation Competition Entries Postnet Suite 331 Private Bag X 51 Bryanston 2021.
