A festive Slough competition
It’s Slough panto season again and the West Wing is launching a Magic Genie colouring competition to celebrate its spectacular production of Aladdin.
As part of this, Children under 12 are being asked to enter a special competition to create their own picture of a genie lamp. The winner will win a VIP family ticket, for two adults and two children to the pantomime, including backstage passes to meet the cast.
The best 30 Slough entries will be displayed in the West Wing’s art gallery, along with the winning entry.
You can paint, draw, make a collage, use a computer, or have fun with glitter and glue to create your ultimate Aladdin lamp.
Ranjit Atwal, West Wing’s audience development officer, said: “The pantomime is set to be one of our best and I think this competition will help get everyone into the Christmas spirit.
“I am looking forward to seeing what pictures our town’s younger residents send in. I wish everyone the best of luck.”
Cllr Julia Long, commissioner for Slough leisure, cultural and community services, said: “This year’s pantomime is set to be a spectacular event and I think the competition is a great idea.
“This is Slough’s first professional pantomime for a number of years and we are in for a real treat with this performance.”
To enter the competition, pick up a special ‘Genie Lamp’ form from the West Wing or email westwing@slough.gov.uk. Entries should be posted to the West Wing Arts Centre, Stoke Road, SL2 5AY. The competition closes on Thursday 29th November.
