Logo competition winners


As you'll no doubt have spotted on the website by now, the official Three Lochs Festival logo has been chosen.

Earlier this month, David Barker, chairman of the Three Lochs Festival management committee, presented prizes to the winners of the design competition which was run in conjunction with local community magazine De tha Dol?


The overall winner of the competition was Justine Dunn of Longrigg, Strontian, who received a free pass to all events and activities at this year’s festival. Justine’s logo will be used on all promotional material for the festival.

Winner of the junior section of the competition - which attracted almost 50 entries - was eleven year old Sara MacKinnon of Strontian Primary School, who was presented with an Argos gift voucher. Runners-up prizes of vouchers went to Jessie MacPherson and Charlie Pleming from Acharacle Primary.

The girls’ designs will be used on posters and leaflets advertising children’s events at this year’s festivals.

Congratulations to our winners and many thanks once again to all who entered.

Lookout for the logo!


After much deliberation following a huge number of entries of an exceptionally high standard, the winner of the Three Lochs Festival's logo competition has been decided!

The design is with our technical team at the moment who are turning it into something we can use in all our communications and correspondence so we're going to keep it - and the name of the winner - under wraps for just a wee bit longer...watch this space.

Once again, thank you to all who entered and demonstrated their support for and interest in what we're sure will be a great festival.

Calling all artists!

“The Three Lochs

Book & Arts Festival”

LOGO COMPETITION

A recent appeal for volunteers has prompted enough local interest to ensure that a new local arts festival will succeed the former

Arainn Shuaineirt Book Festival.

The brand new “Three Lochs Book and Arts Festival” aims to draw together communities from throughout the De tha Dol? area by featuring a wide variety of

disciplines, including literature, film, photography, art and crafts.

The festival organisers are now seeking an

attractive logo for the “Three Lochs Festival”, which may encompass this year’s theme of “ebb and flow”.

There will be prizes for the winner of the junior

section (primary school age) and the senior section (high school age/adult) and the overall winner will be presented with a free pass for all the activities at this year’s festival!

Please post your entries (clearly labelled “Three Lochs

Festival” Logo Competition), or hand them in, to

Ardnamurchan Library, The Sunart Centre,

Drimnatorran, Strontian, PH36 4JA

or email to: jane.johnstone@highland.gov.uk

All entries should include the artist’s name, address,

contact number and age.

Closing date: Friday 30th April 2010
