Creating Natures Corridors Art Competition

We’re launching an art competition where you can design a large mural that will be visible for years to come. Please submit your design for the mural as an A3 portrait piece of artwork. The artwork can be in any medium you like – paint, sketch, digital, collage… the choice is yours! 

Your challenge: create a piece that reflects nature and the racecourse and the work that the charity and the racecourse have achieved, and the amazing impact of the planting we’ve done together at the racecourse. 🌳💚

Over the last two years, we’ve planted:
🌱 13,000+ trees and hedging plants
🌿 1.5km of new hedgerow
🌳 Ollie’s Wood, a new wet woodland space

All planted with the support of our incredible community – from local residents to businesses, guides, and beyond. We feel this is very much the start of the collaboration and will plant even more trees and hedging over the years to come. 

Now it’s your turn to get involved and make your mark! 🖌️

The winner's artwork will be painted onto one of the walls at the racecourse, and they will also receive a £50 gift voucher for Amazon to stock up on art supplies. This is a wonderful opportunity for any budding artist to showcase their work.
