Competitions & Giveaways Crafty Monkey loves getting involved in the local community and giving back to our wonderful customers and one of the ways we like to do this is by running competitions and giveaways! Have a look at some of the competitions we've run or been involved in. Crafty Monkey Past Competitions Current Competitions Black Cat Radio Mug Painting Competition In the early days of, our much loved, St. Neots based Black Cat Radio station (and our radio station of choice played in our studio) we ran a mug painting competition to help spread the word about the radio station. Together with Black Cat Radio presenters, we toured the local schools in St. Neots and took over their assemblies to promote the competition. People of all ages entered and designed mugs for the presenters. The presenter chose the design they like the most and the winner got to come and paint it up on a mug at Crafty Monkey. Once the mug had been fired the winner had a tour of the radio station and presented the mug to the DJ on air! Here's pictures of the winning entrants and a few of the Black Cat Radio presenters! Kings Coronation Art Competition To celebrate the King's Coronation, St Neots Town Council hosted an exciting art competition, offering participants the chance to win a free craft experience at Crafty Monkey! The prize allowed winners to recreate their royal-themed artwork on pottery. The competition was open to children aged 3-16 years, divided into four age categories: 3-5 years, 6-9 years, 10-12 years, and 13-16 years. Entrants were invited to create a Coronation-themed artwork of His Majesty The King using any medium, including drawing, colouring, painting, or crafting. This memorable competition showcased the creativity of young artists and celebrated a historic royal occasion. Free Baby Print Giveaway We ran a free giveaway to win a free baby print on a tile! Tiles are one of the cutest ways to capture your little one's foot or hand prints and make great coasters. We enjoy getting involved and interacting with our online community and run competitions on our Instagram and Facebook often - so make sure you're following us! Eco Plate Painting Competition We ran a 'Save the Planet' Plate Painting Competition for people of all ages to design a plate with an Eco theme. We had over 100 entries and had over 500 people voting online for their favourite design. Winners got to paint up their plates and plant a tree with a local initiative called Grow wild! See some of the entries in the gallery below. Queens Platinum Jubilee Art Competition For the Queens Platinum Jubilee we worked with St Neots Town Council to bring together a Jubilee themed competition with great prizes! Winners got to have their work shown in the St Neots Museum and a Craft Experience with us! We had a great time attending Street Food Fest and Picnic in the Park running the competition - we had loads of brilliant entries. Free Local Business Giveaway In an effort to give local small businesses and attractions some extra exposure after the pandemic we teamed up with a few local businesses for a giveaway run on Instagram and Facebook! One lucky winner won all of these prizes. We've got some great attractions and businesses in our little town and it was lovely to be able to highlight them - shop local! Eco Plate Painting Competition 🌍 At Crafty Monkey, caring for our planet is close to our hearts and creativity is one of the best ways to spark conversations about looking after the environment. To help raise awareness of the environmental challenges we all face, we ran a special Eco‑Themed Plate Competition, inviting people of all ages to design a plate inspired by nature, sustainability and protecting our world. The winning designers were invited into the studio to paint their creations, bringing their ideas to life in ceramic form. See a showcase of some of the amazing entries — from tiny handprints to thoughtful designs by adults — all celebrating the importance of looking after our planet. 💚
