The Virtual Best Dressed Duck competition
Click here for more information and a quick guide to dressing up your duck in Photoshop, Word or Paint.
The best-dressed duck competition has been part of the tradition of the Surrey Care Trust Big Yellow Duck Race.
Nowadays it’s a virtual competition, so anyone can join in by dressing up a picture of a duck using computer software. We have supplied some instructions for absolute beginners.
To get started, just save a copy of our under-dressed duck, pictured here, (right click and save to your computer) and then dress him/her up using Photoshop, Word, Paint or other suitable software.
If you want to use traditional paint brush or colouring pencil methods, that’s fine, too. Just print off a copy of the photograph and sketch away but we are only accepting entries by email, so you will need to scan the image of the finished duck so you have an electronic copy.
Entries close at 12 noon on Friday 22nd June 2012. Please email your duck with your name and contact details vicky.nash@surreycaretrust.org.uk
Email Vicky if you would like us to send you a high-resolution version of the picture or copy one from our Flickr page
Entry is free but if you would like to make a donation to the Surrey Care Trust or find out about our work, click to go to the DONATE page of our website , or to see our other EVENTS.
