SCHOOLS’ PAINTING COMPETITION

Over the last two weeks we have visited 16 schools in the Çaliş and Fethiye area to invite the students to take part in a painting competition to design a picture for the posters which will advertise the carnival based on the theme “Summer, Sun and the Sea”.

The competition which has the approval of Fethiye Belediye’s Director of Education, closes on Friday 4 April when the winners from the four age groups will be selected by a panel of judges, including the schools’ arts adviser and local artist Keith Fordham. These four pictures will then be professionally printed as posters.

The four winners and the second and third placed entrants in each category will all receive prizes of gold coins. All of the pictures will be displayed in the Exhibition area on Carnival Day.

If any company would like to sponsor the cost of printing these posters which will be distributed across the whole of the Mugla area, in return for advertising their name on the posters, please contact 0535 8554919.

PRINCE AND PRINCESS COMPETITION
The schools have also been asked to nominate a boy and a girl from each school, aged between 8 and 14, who they think should be crowned as Carnival Prince and Princess.  This nomination will not be based on looks or academic success but because the children have overcome some difficulty in their lives or have set a good example to the other students. The winners, who will lead the carnival parade in their own decorated float, will be selected by a panel of judges at the Fethiye Cultural Centre on 11 April. All 32 of the nominated children will receive prizes of school bags, books and writing materials.  The two winners will each receive a new Geotech Bicycle courtesy of Delta Bike and More, Fethiye. They will also be provided with Prince and Princess costumes by Taurean Properties Estate Agency, which will be theirs to keep at the end of the carnival.

PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

Entries are already being received for the Carnival photography competition. The competition is open to all amateur photographers, old and young alike, and there are six categories for you to enter:

Humorous
Portrait/People
Wildlife/Natural History/Animals
Seascape/Landscape
Cultural/History
Black and White/Sepia – any subject

The one major condition of the competition is that all photographs must be taken in Turkey. Entrants can submit one photograph per category to a maximum size of A4 and the photographs can be mounted or un-mounted.  The entrants should put their details and category on the back of the photograph or mounting board. There will be cups for the six winners and certificates for the 2nd and 3rd placed entries in each category.

Entrants must be aware that the photographs will not be returned and they will become the property of the Çaliş Carnival Committee and may be used in future carnival publicity projects.

Photographs should be handed in to either the Kismet Bar, Karen’s Kardz or FETAV Office in Fethiye or the Nil Bar or Taurean Properties in Çaliş. The closing date for the competition is Saturday May 31. The photographs will be exhibited as part of the Carnival Exhibition on Çaliş seafront on Saturday 7 June. 

CARNIVAL PARADE AND EXHIBITION – 7 JUNE
If you, your club, organisation, friends or business are interested in taking part in the carnival parade or exhibiting or promoting your activities in the exhibition area, information packs and entry forms are now available.  These can be downloaded from the carnival websites or please ring 0535 8554919 or 0539 8607761.

BARS AND RESTAURANTS
We want to encourage Çaliş restaurants, bars and businesses to participate in and to benefit from the event by staging their own entertainment and competitions in the week leading up to Carnival day. We would also like them to decorate their premises and hope staff will dress up on Carnival day in order to add to the festivities. To encourage this participation there will be a trophy for the best decorated bar/restaurant and a cup for the best-dressed shop/business. Judging will take place from 2 June.
GETTING INVOLVED
The Carnival is being organised by a group of volunteers and everybody is giving their time for free. If you would like to be involved with the carnival project there are many ways that you could help us. This could be:
Volunteering – this could be helping on the day by directing or marshalling traffic and spectators, stewarding the carnival parade, setting up the exhibition and stage area, moving equipment and helping to clear up the site afterwards or help beforehand by distributing posters, collecting materials and textiles for float and costume making, helping to run costume/mask /face-painting workshops – in fact in any way that you think you can help!
We are also looking for face painters, jugglers, clowns, balloon artists and other street entertainers to take part on the day – please contact us if you would like to help
Sponsoring -we are still looking for sponsors to assist with many elements of the carnival. If your business or organisation would like to be involved in helping us in any way to make this Carnival a real success whilst helping to raise money for the carnival children’s charities, also this will help promote your company through free advertising on our website, publicity in newspaper and television articles, on posters, banners and in the carnival programme, we would love to hear from you.
