Kids, how would you like your photograph or drawing showcased at the History Illuminated Festival later this year? As part of a joint project with The Children’s University of Newcastle, Lake Mac Libraries is collecting children's memories of the COVID-19 lockdown. Anyone aged 16 and under, living in Lake Macquarie and the surrounding area, is invited to participate. All you need to do is draw a picture or send a photo of your time at home, and write a short paragraph to tell us about your experience. Then, scan or take a photo of your work, and email us at libraryevents@lakemac.nsw.gov.au by Friday 28 August. Please note: any material submitted may be included on our Lake Macquarie History website as a historical record, and used in future virtual and physical exhibitions.
Looking for ideas of what to write and draw? Here's some suggestions to help you get started:
1) Draw a picture or send a photo of your time at home during the COVID-19 lockdown. 2) Write a short paragraph to tell us about your experience. 3) Scan or take a photo of your work, including the short paragraph, and email at libraryevents@lakemac.nsw.gov.au by Friday 28 August.
Selected entries will be collated into a slideshow presentation and shown at the History Illuminated Festival later this year. Entries may also be used as a historical record on the Lake Macquarie website, and used in future digital and physical exhibitions.
