Dalmally Show will not be taking place, as scheduled, on September 5 2020, due to Covid 19, but the Show is hosting three mini-competitions to keep the spirit of the event alive until the Centenary celebrations next year.

All classes are open to adults and children, with prizes – and age-group categories for children – to be confirmed.

To enter, email a photo of your effort, along with your name, address and age (if under 16) to show.competitions@gmail.com by midday on Friday, September 4. Please send a separate email for each class and each person.

Email any questions to show.competitions@gmail.com. The team look forward to seeing your creations.

2020 DALMALLY SHOW COMPETITIONS

My Lockdown on a Plate: Interpret this challenge any way you like. You could make a miniature version of your own garden if that’s where you spent lockdown time, show us a plate full of the produce that you grew, or a cake that you mastered the recipe for at home school. Anything with a lockdown connection is valid, but it must be displayed on a plate (you can send an explanation if you like). Take a photo and email it to us (with age, phone number & address) at the address above.

A Dalmally Show Memory on A4: Think back to a past Dalmally Show and share your memory of it. This could be in the form of a painting, drawing, collage, poem – or something completely different. All entries must fit on an A4 piece of paper. (If you’ve never been to the Show, but would like to enter, you can send a Dalmally Show Dream!) Take a photo of your entry and email it to us (with age, phone number & address) at the address above.

Team Challenge – Show Day Sculpture/Scarecrow: Make a scarecrow or a sculpture that has a connection to Dalmally Show (e.g. of a sheep). On Saturday, September 5 (what would have been Dalmally Show Day) display it in your window, in your field or your garden, then take a picture and email it to us, along with your details and the location. (Bonus points for using recycled or foraged materials).

On Show Day, the team will share a gallery of sculptures on Facebook, and, if you want, you can take a walk/cycle or a drive around the area and see how many others you can spot. The deadline for this competition is a little later, 9am on Saturday 5th.

Good Luck!
