Youngsters are being invited to celebrate Southport through their artwork.
The initiative encourages young people to express what they love about the town, with pieces to be displayed at Adventure Coast Southport in August.
Everyone who submits artwork will receive two free tickets to Adventure Coast Southport for the 2025 season, excluding bank holiday weekends.
Open to anyone who lives in or has visited Southport, the project aims to foster community pride and showcase the town’s charm through the eyes of its youth.
Participants are asked to submit original artwork by 30th June 2025. All submissions will be exhibited, and three standout pieces will be transformed into large posters promoting Southport.
“This project is about celebrating Southport’s unique character and the creativity of its young people,” said Norman Wallis, CEO of Adventure Coast Southport.
“We’re excited to see how students interpret the town’s spirit through their art.”
Southport College has also expressed its enthusiasm for the initiative.
“Our students are thrilled to participate in this project. It’s a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community and develop their artistic skills,” said a college spokesperson
“We’ll be running this as a mini project with our Year 1 Art & Graphics students as well as our Level 2 Art & Design group.
“It’s a perfect way to end the academic year – reinforcing the importance of live briefs, connecting with local businesses, and celebrating Southport and the wider community through creative work.”
Schools and colleges are encouraged to collect all entries and contact the park to arrange collection.
People not linked to Southport schools or colleges can post original artworks: Art Competition, Adventure Coast Southport, Marine Drive, Southport PR8 1RX, or scan hi-resolution copies to art@adventurecoastsouthport.co.uk
