Contests

Art Contest: Inspired by the Sea

Will you draw the big ships that carry people and cargo across the ocean? Or the creatures—real or imaginary—that live below the waves? Perhaps you’ll draw a busy seaport, or one of the exotic places you’d visit if you were growing up at sea. Maybe your drawing will be inspired by ancient explorers in small vessels. Or a stormy seascape that shows the power of the sea. Or what it would be like to live on a tall-masted sailing ship.

Whatever you choose, everybuggy will be drifting around the Cricket Country mailbox, waiting to enjoy your very best work of art showing how you see the sea. Ahoy!
