#GoRacingGreen’s Inclusive Get Creative Competition

#GoRacingGreen – the initiative that works with racecourses to support people that love racing but have challenges that may keep them isolated from the sport – has developed a new creative competition for everyone to enjoy.

The challenge with a deadline of midday on Friday 23^rd May is to create something that is equine-related.

Perhaps painting a picture of a horse; creating a stable out of Lego or make a horse lorry or fences out items that might be found around the house and garden would be ways to enter. Knitting a scarf in favourite racing colours is also a suggestion

The competition will be split into four age group categories, as follows:

4-7
8-11
12-16
Above & Beyond

The Above & Beyond category is for anyone over 16 that wishes to take part who may have special educational needs, dementia or a disability, hidden or otherwise. Go Racing Green would also be interested in anyone sharing their story, should they wish.

Once complete, please tweet an image of your picture to @novicefilly and include the age of your child if 16 or under (for safeguarding reasons you do not have to display their name if you would rather not), or email a picture of the creation to debbie@novicefilly.co.uk

The images will be uploaded to the #GoRacingGreen website, where people will be able to vote for their favourite piece in each age group.

The creator of gaultstats.com, Bryan Gault, kindly chose #GoRacingGreen as his cause ahead of this year’s Cheltenham Festival. Therefore, the prizes for each age group will be provided from that fund.

Each winner, or their parent/carer, will be contacted so an appropriate prize, to the value of £25 per winner, can be ordered and, due to the current circumstances, will be sent direct to them via Amazon.

Please have your entries in by midday on Friday 23^rd May. Voting will open from 7.30pm on that day and close at 5pm on Sunday 26^th May. The winners will be announced during the #GRGchat that starts at 7.30pm on Sunday 26^th May.

Good luck and, above all, have loads of creative fun.
