Anti-Bullying Week Performing Arts Celebration for Young People
This competition is open to all young people between the ages of 5-19 years. We want them to come up with an original creative performance on the theme of bullying and ‘Difference and Diversity'. It could be a poem, story, piece of drama, dance, song, rap, piece of music - you name it! Those entering the competition must ensure that performances take no longer than 5 minutes. Entries will need to be submitted in a suitable format e.g. DVD for dance, CD for song and cannot be returned. There are three age groups (5–8, 9–12, 13+) with a winner in each age group and area. All entries need to be in by 6th October. Judging will be in local areas and winners will be notified before the end of October. The three best entries in each area will be invited to perform to an audience at the Anti-Bullying Launch on 17th November at Northgate High School, Dereham. Full details of terms and conditions and entry forms are available from Rita Adair –

Photos of the winners will be on the Connexions and Parent Partnerhsip websites and photographs of all the entries will be in the Connexions offices for young people and their parents to drop in and look at.
