Call for Entries - Treasure Boats


We are happy to as the first thing in this new year invite you to participate in a new Kids Exhibition, and this time together with the Australian BIG Kids magazine! The Exhibition will be featured in their next issue. Read here:

We are thrilled to announce the BIG Treasure Boats Exhibition in partnerSHIP with Lilla a.  

To join the Lilla a/BIG sail, follow the call for entries and send in your stories mapped with curiosity and  boats built with treasure. We are looking for an ocean fleet of brave, imaginative and generous Treasure Boats sailing on uncharted maps of discovery and will be printing the exhibition in the upcoming TREASURE MAPS edition of BIG Kids Magazine. 

BIG Kids Magazine is a creative arts magazine that publishes the work of children and artists side by side.  The Treasure Boats Exhibition is a feature of our wider invitation for creative contributions of Treasure Maps from around the world. We invite you all to join us as treasure seekers looking to chart unexpected maps of the imagination!

How great is that! Here is the theme:

Have you ever found a treasure? Where? In the forest or in your pocket? What is a treasure? Is it shiny and golden, or is it a collection of the finest sticks? Make a boat for your treasure hunt. Use a milk or juice carton for the body of the ship, and build the rest of the ship of your found treasures. Decorate with your treasures or just let them sail onboard. Does you boat have sails or a is it a motorboat?
Find your parts to build with on a nature walk or around the house! Take a picture of your Treasure Boat on a neutral, uncluttered background preferably in good daylight. Send the picture to lilla.a.design(at)gmail.com.


The Treasure Boats Exhibition is open for all children, with a little help from their parents.

To enter:
1. Photo of the Treasure Boat on a neutral, uncluttered background preferably in good daylight
2. A short story with the kids own words about the boat and it´s treasures. Max. 40 words in English.
3. City and country where the boat sails from.
4. Name and age of participant, blog adress (if you have one).

  10. Åh, vilken rolig idé! Det här skulle jag vilja göra med mina 1-2or i skolan - men jag vet inte säkert om vi hinner, såg det lite sent. Ska pejla intresset hos dem lite och ifall de är intresserade ska jag verkligen försöka få in det i nästa veckas planering.

  11. I have come your way via Se7en, and we have loved your Advent craft - thank you! It was easy enough to do even though we had just moved house, and something to look forward to every day in the absence of other advent preparations.

    An now we have a boat coming!
