Our Roses and What They Mean to Us

Music by Jeanie Barton, jeaniebarton.com
An international initiative promoted by Art Culture Tourism UK and OKAY! Italy

Year of The Roses 2021

This wellbeing creative showcase project is a celebration of perhaps our most stoic flower, the rose. Held during such difficult global times, it aims to encourage artistic and emotional expression – to celebrate nature and our place within it.

​ACT/OKAY! will post submitted material on their tele-matic channels & on social media, releasing an online showcase exhibition.
The best images and stories will be selected for a major online exhibition, a book, a video film and a fantastic outdoor Autumn event in Beeston & Nottingham, the Land of Robin Hood.

The rose is a sign for hope for the future. Because after the thorns, we need the roses.

"But he that dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose" - 
​Anne Brontë (from The Narrow Way)


​This project is dedicated to roses in all their aspects, shapes and colours. You can send images of roses and gardens as drawings, paintings, mosaics, frescoes, decoupage, collages, whichever form.

​They can be documented in different situations e.g. gardens, interiors, furnishings, decorations, setups for events, celebrations etc.

Participation

Free to enter and ​open to anyone, all ages, individuals, groups (including family & school groups) and associations.

Last day for entries: 20 August, 2021
