The Big BOV Birthday Challenge!
26 Mar 2021Missing theatre?
Can’t get that one show out of your head?
Are you up for a challenge?
To celebrate our 255th birthday in May, we’re collecting a gallery of show images from the past – recreated by you!
Each week, we’ll share our top 3 for you to pick the winner – the image with the most ‘likes’ will be turned into an iconic Bristol Old Vic show poster.
The overall winner will be announced on our birthday – 30 May. You’ll receive a print of your winning masterpiece (?!) and a backstage tour of Bristol Old Vic for you and 5 friends.
Maybe you’re desperate to make Jane Eyre’s face from pasta?
Or see your Granny as The Grinning Man?
Check out The Inspiration Station below for ideas, but don’t let us hold you back!
Simply post your crazy copies and delightful doubles on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, tag us @BristolOldVic and #BOVBirthdayChallenge.
Good luck!
