I am very interested in this, but am having a hard time finding out much more information! Apparently entries close in September… but I can’t find any forms.

Central Craft is an organisation which supports and promotes artists and craft practitioners working in Alice Springs and surrounding areas of Central Australia. We run workshops and studios, the June Marriott Gallery, and a retail outlet.
For the 2015 CAIRNS CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL Tank 4 will become a recycling solar system where visitors travel through a cardboard maze of space, planets and rockets to a reimagined alien world.
The maze will be a sustainable dream, constructed from donated, found and repurposed materials – a cacophony of interspatial ideas facilitated by artist-in-residence Ruby Boussard.
Workshops to help build the giant rocket and maze are being run in March and over the school holidays. Participants will be instrumental in the final outcome at CAIRNS CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL 2015 – Sunday 10th May.

For the first Cairns Children’s at the Tanks children from Edge Hill State School were invited to make life sized silhouettes of themselves to populate a cardboard maze world. The child was the creative director and the adult was the technical coordinator, who does the cutting and enabling the imagination. The child then decorated the cardboard silhouette with old clothing and oil pastels. The negative cardboard offcuts were used to create a growing multidimensional Waste Not World in the Tinker Tank.
About 20,000 people hit Grafton and Shields Sts to watch the parade and take part in the traditional Chinese celebrations, including the awakening of the dragon ceremony used to ring in the new year.

It was a beautiful day under the trees sitting in the Cairns Cultural Precinct.
