Schools are invited to submit students’ poster designs to the CSMFA Poster competition, to advertise the 2024 Music Festival season which will be the 85th year of the festival.
Children participating in the Festival are Primary and Intermediate School pupils and the judges look for entries which reflect, in some way, both the choral and instrumental aspects of the Music Festival.
The theme for the 2024 Music Festival is “E Tu – Hand in Hand” and the music will present an interpretation of this theme.
The winning entry will include representations of the theme in the musical context of the festival. Music is around the theme of resilience, strength and standing up to challenges.
The theme is linked to the Olympics which are being held in July in Paris. Some songs will reflect previous performances from past Olympic opening and closing ceremonies. Students, when designing the poster, can include images about being resilient and striving to be the best and winning but they must not include the Olympic rings or any symbols used in the Olympic logos.
The judges will be looking for one winning entry. It is intended that this will be used for inclusion in our poster and print advertisements, as well as the programme cover and ticketing icons.
On the right you can scroll through some of the winning images from previous years!
