AN UDDER GREAT PANTOMIME COMPETITION

Following the success of last year's Dick Whittington's cat competition the Thwaites Empire Theatre is looking for another very special design for the star of this year's pantomime, Daisy the Pantomime Cow.

Children aged 4-11 years can enter the competition using the template in the entry form, available from local schools and libraries or downloadable at the theatre website.  There's an older age category for young people aged up to 18 years to enter a freehand design using any medium, including computer graphic design.  

50 thousand entry forms are being distributed around local schools, libraries and community venues.  

The winning entry will be made up into a full size pantomime cow costume for this year's professional production of Jack and the Beanstalk.  The winner will receive a framed photo of their winning design, £100 cash prize and 300 tickets for their friends and family to enjoy a private performance of the show, with free Moo to You icecreams for all of the guests, along with pantomime programmes and a chance to meet the cast backstage.  

The competition is sponsored by Freemasonry in the Community, Huntleys 'Moo to You' Icecream and Northern Life Kids Magazine  

The closing date is 17 July 2009.

For more details and entry form contact the theatre on 01254 685500.
