DRAW A TALE! – Men’s EHF European Handball Championship 2022

DRAW A TALE!

The WGSM team is announcing a drawing competition for children aged 7-10. Just as the EHF EURO 2022 will be more than a simple sporting event, this drawing competition goes beyond a traditional drawing initiative.

WHY DO I TAKE PENCIL?

Because we believe in community experiences, not only during the tournament, but also in the run-up to it: our goal is for this European Championship and our programmes and the journey that has taken us so far with full of anticipation and preparation, to move everyone and create long-lasting experiences.
At the end of the competition, we will receive not only a tangible end result, but also a thematic animated tale – to promote the European Championship and handball.

TIMETABLE
Step 1: Define the theme of the drawings by starting and formulating a story for you in a few sentences, this is where the tale begins. Step 2: You have to continue and finish this story with the drawings and the characters given, using your imagination and creativity. Step 3: We select the 7 best drawings and the characters on them with the help of the jury as well as of the audience vote. Step 4: From the winning drawings, BOOKR Kids, in collaboration with the WGSM team, will create an animated fairy tale film using the depicted characters, which will eventually be released online.

SUMMARY – START YOUR FAIRY TALE HERE!

The clock immediately strikes the 60th minute, the second hand sets off for the last lap. The standing is: a draw. Players on both sides step in once again, wiping their foreheads, gathering their remaining strength because they want to win. Our team, too: we have to cling together again. The audience is on their feet: sometimes the buzz of the fly can be heard in the tense silence, the other moment everyone is already bouncing and yelling by the track. They hang also on the chandelier, everyone was waiting for this match.
At the edge of the field, our substitutes are clinging to each other and watching the others fighting. Our goalkeeper defends tremendously, the last attack is ours: there is no other choice: the ball must somehow get into the goal….
Our characters (with the position on the field):
  • Wolf – centre back
  • Cat – left back
  • Frog – right back
  • Rabbit – left wing
  • Fox – right wing
  • Bear – goalkeeper
  • Bull – pivot
  • EVALUATION
    A four-member jury will select the 6 best drawings from the received applications. In addition, an audience vote will be launched on our Facebook page, the winning drawing of which will also be included in the drawings that form the basis of the tale.
    (It's no coincidence that we select 6 + 1 drawings and characters to refer to the players on the field of a handball team.)
    The members of the jury are: József Keresztesi, the writer of the fairy tale, Tamara Zsigmond, the narrator of the fairy tale, Adrián Sipos national handball player and Erika Kirsner, the vice-president of the Hungarian Handball Federation.
