"GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY" Virtual Talent and Art Contest - Enter by July 1 for judging to win $$$!
2020 was an unusual year, scary and somewhat secluded. To start off Spring of 2021, Age Well Forsyth presents a fun and challenging contest for our seniors, with cash prizes (and of course the corresponding ribbons).
The topic of this contest is “Growing Old Gracefully”. When you think of growing old gracefully, what comes to mind? I’m sure a number of things do. Well, here is a contest where you express your idea by making it come to life by entering ONE of the following five contest categories:
ART (Painting, drawing, sculpture, wood, mixed media, craftwork, etc) (submit photo)
MUSIC (Instrumental or Singing) (submit video)
DANCE (submit video)
COMEDY /DRAMA (submit video)
WRITING (poetry or short story) (submit Word document or PDF (1,000 words or less))
In EACH category, prizes will be awarded: 1st Prize is $100, 2nd Prize is $75, 3rd Prize is $50
Here are the very simple rules:
1. You must be a senior (55 or older) and a resident of Forsyth County
2. You can enter only one category; one entry per person
3. Deadline is July 1st, 2021
4. At www.agewellforsyth.com, follow the link on the home page to submit your entry with an attached file (PDF, Word document, or JPEG or PNG image, maximum 20Mbyte size). To submit a video, first submit entry information in the AgeWell form below, but the Video file (max of 200Mbytes) must be uploaded at AgeWell’s WeTransfer site, detailed instructions below.
To complete the entry form below, fill out your name, email address, mailing address, and in the message area, put “AgeWell Growing Old Gracefully Contest, category xxxx”, where xxx indicates the category you are entering. For box instruction details, hover over the “?” icon. Attached document or image files here. Videos must be submitted separately on a different website (see details below), but complete this form with the added note “Video submitted through WeTransfer”. Note that if you are submitting a video, you still need to attach a file here - it could be a Word doc with a more detailed description, or a screenshot or image from the video.
So get moving! Have fun! Fill in that time you are sitting at home and do something creative. Questions, call 404-245-7949
Instructions for submitting a video:
After completing the entry form below, you must go to a separate site to submit the video file. (Note that the form below does require you to submit a file here, so it can be any static image or file as a placeholder.) To perform the actual video file submission, you will need ready access to your own email account to verify your identity via a sent passcode. Maximum file size is 200Mbytes, please limit length to three (3) minutes of video or less.
