Dippy, our museum mascot, is trying to stay positive and thinking of #ReasonsToBeCheerful just now. Dippy is missing meeting you all down at the museum, so instead is looking for some old-fashioned pen pals. We have decided to run a competition to cheer Dippy up and remind him of all the good things in
the world, even if we are stuck at home for a wee bit!
To enter the competition, send us a photo of yourself holding a sign with your reason to be cheerful! We would also love to see any of your cuddly friends who are keeping you company and any drawings of Dippy! He does love a good old portrait!
Think of Dippy as your pen pal and send him an update of what you’re up to right now!
How to Enter
Any child can enter and we will be sharing some entries online too. You can either leave your entries in the comments, direct message us on Social Media or email us at events@carnegiebirthplace.com
Entries do not have to be from the Dunfermline or Fife Area, anyone can enter! We’d like to see how far away people enter from!
The Prize: The winner will win their own big orange Dippy & there will be some small prizes for our runners up!
Once the world is up and running again, we will negotiate getting the prize to the winner safely.
All entries should include:
Name of entrant: (child/childrens’ first names – no last names please!)
Age:
Hometown: (we just like to see how far our competition reaches!)
Please share with us either:
1. A drawing of Dippy with a message to Dippy OR a photo or drawing introducing yourself with your favourite toy (+ their name!) and a wee message to Dippy! If you write it as letter, just send us photo or scan.
2. Either email us the entry or send us a message on Social Media. Use the #CheerUpDippy hashtag to help us keep up with entries and tag us too!
By entering the competition, you agree to have your entry possibly shared online. If you do not want us to share a photo of your child, please get them to draw themselves – that still counts as an entry!
Please don’t send us physical letters or drawings in the post as we won’t be able to pick them up from the museum. A digital copy is just fine and will be entered into the prize draw.
Closing date: 4th May 5pm
Any questions please email Annie (Visitor Services Officer) at events@carnegiebirthplace.com
Please share with as many people as possible and get the word out that Dippy needs cheering up!
