Beverley Puppet Festival launches with online competition!

Beverley Puppet  Festival is now halfway through its ground-breaking online programme of puppetry activity videos for all ages. Photos and videos have been flooding in from audience members young and old, who want to share the puppets they have made. 

Now the Festival has launched a competition for all those creative puppetry fans out there. Prizes for both the adult and a kids/family categories are two passes for the next live festival which will be held in Beverley in 2022. There are additional prizes of branded Festival tote bags and camping cups for the best submission for each of the 25 workshop activities.

To take part, all you need to do is submit pictures or videos (of up to 2 minutes) of your creations based on any of the festival activity videos.

Don’t worry if you missed any. All the subtitled activity videos will remain available online at the website https://www.beverleypuppetfestival.com and you can see the puppets and puppetry performances that have already been submitted there as well.

The competition will remain open until Sunday 19 July, a week after the last video activity is posted on the website. The winners will be announced on the following Saturday 25 July.

So get online, get crafting, photographing and filming, and send in your creations for a chance to be part of this year’s exciting activities and be the lucky winner of your free pass to the Beverley Puppet Festival, back live and in person in 2022
