There will be live music from Hera, Best Mates and The Billie Jean Project, along with Street Performers and craft stalls lining the closed off streets of the central Village.

The local Chefs will get together to create a delicious BBQ while the Community Bar will be pouring cold beer and locally owned Tiki wines.
The kids will have an array of activities from Vertical bungy, water walkers, a big inflatable slide and a skate jam.

As part of Sea Week come along in sea themed fancy dress and win prizes on the day. Open to kids and adults alike…think pirates, mermaids, Nemo, sharks, jelly fish! The parade starts at 12:15 by the main stage.

Come and enjoy a family day out in the relaxed beachside Sumner Village and perhaps even go home with the raffle prize of a travel package from House of Travel Ferrymead.

There will be a BBQ for you to cook on so bring your escargot, camembert and Champagne and enjoy an afternoon on the Village Green with a touch of French flair.

Sumner Rocks Art Competition Entry Form 2013

Introduction (please read carefully)

The “Great Big Sumner Art Competition“ invites you to create your coolest artwork. The contest is to help raise the profile of our unique area. The winning work will be printed onto a skin and mounted onto two existing stacked shipping containers located on Wakefield Avenue. Thank you to our sponsors, DJ Hewitt and the Corner Shop Bistro who are sponsoring the printing/mounting costs.

Who can enter?
Anybody! The “Great Big Sumner Art Competition” is we believe an excellent way for getting artists of Christchurch old or young involved in beautifying the shipping containers that now adorn our landscape.

Prizes
The 12 final entries will be printed on core flutes and displayed at the Sumner Rocks Village Street Party on Sunday, 17 March 2013 and the general public will vote for their favorite. This will assist the judges in making their final decision. These images will then be used to produce a calendar for 2014.

These 12 finalists will also be acknowledged on the Sumner Village Website http://www.sumnervillage.co.nz.

The Grand Prize Winner
Will have their work digitally printed onto a skin and mounted onto two stacked shipping containers located on Wakefield Avenue and may be used for future promoting and marketing of the Sumner area.

Artwork may be a photograph or hand-drawn using any form of media including stencil, graffiti, acrylic, crayon etc or digitally produced. Your work can be realistic, semi abstract or abstract. The artwork must be scanned or digitally photographed, as ultimately it will be printed onto a skin ready to mount.

We are looking for a work, which captures the essence and uniqueness of Sumner, and it’s area. You should bear in mind how big the final piece is going to be and the strong daylight that will be on it. You can use full-color or black & white.

Who’s  involved? And what is your part?
The whole of  the Sumner Longboarders club have been involved in getting this going and there is a club committee sub group that have been focused on organising the event – I am part of that team. We have had fabulous support from local businesses supporting the Charity Art Auction and the weekend in general, the club is hugely grateful to Sadhana surfboards, Aumoana, Seventh Wave, Mainland Paints, the Headless Mexican, Signmark and Surfing Tribe for their awesome ongoing support.

What can we expect?
You can expect a great weekend, full of fun, good company and some serious fundraising for a really good cause – the Make-a- Wish New Zealand foundation on the Saturday night. Friday 1st March will be the Surfing Tribe & Sadhana Surfboards Surf Movie night at the Hollywood cinema starting at 7pm and $15 per person, Saturday 2nd March is the Seventhwave Charity Art Auction being held at the Ferrymead Golf Club ($20 per person) with all proceeds going to Make-a-Wish foundation and Sunday will be the Mainland Paints Old Mal team tag and BBQ from around 9am on Sunday 3rd March on Sumner Beach.

Can everyone come along, or do we have to be surfers?
We’d love to see some new faces and you don’t have to be surfers to attend. All are welcome but numbers are limited, with club members past and present already having registered for events so tickets are going fast. If you are keen to make sure you get a ticket, please email sumnerlongboarders@gmail.com or ring Pete on 027 250 0000.

Tell us more about the Art Auction….
The Seventhwave Charity art auction is a repeat of an event held 5 years ago where all items, typically but not exclusively surf or Sumner related,  are made assembled and donated by the awesome local businesses named above and our club members. All proceeds from sales will be donated to the “Make-A-Wish New Zealand” to recognise the great work they do in bringing joy and happiness to young children living with life threatening illnesses. As a club we recently lost young Ruby Hollingworth aged 9 from our club circle to a rare condition and wanted to assist by whatever practical means we could. We’d love to see lots of people come along and enjoy the night while helping us achieve a really good contribution for the foundation. The band the “Hot Funky Mama”s are playing and the theme for the weekend is retro so no doubt there’ll be a few paisley’s and hawaiian shirts (always a favourite) in the mix as well.

1st of March 7pm
Movie/wine & cheese night at the sumner cinema $15 per person 1 drink free!

2nd of March 7pm
