Sporty Summer |
Art Contest

4-18

Sporty Summer Graphic

Get ready for a summer of sport with Sporty Summer, a fun drawing contest children can enter independently from home!

Your child can create their own sporty artwork inspired by their favorite game, team, activity, or summer sports event. They could draw an action-packed scene, design a team kit, create a brand-new sport, draw themselves taking part in their favorite activity, or imagine a winning moment.

Whether they love soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, gymnastics, track, skateboarding, or something completely made up, Sporty Summer gives every child the chance to get creative and celebrate sport in their own way.

Enter your child’s drawing for the chance to be published in a bright, full-color book series and win exciting prizes!
