Walk of Hope : Steem-funded Flat Skimboarding and Painting on Skimboards Competitions on June 24th in Bayawan City, Philippines

in #art6 years ago

Now in full gear preparations at DAGSA's Place here in Bayawan, preparing the skimboards, making our @walkofhope's banner is in order since early this morning.

This plan to do the competitions was finalized 6 days ago when the kids in the neighbourhood have been asking Tatay Dagsa if there will be one. As there were not enough hands to make the skimboards, the same kids have agreed to lend a hand.

There will be 2 competitions tomorrow:

Skimboard Painting

From our latest Free ART workshop that was held last month for 16 days here in Bayawan, @flabbergast-art proposed to include this to encourage the previous participants to join and practice what they've learnt. Although it included kids from 6 to 14 years, these competitions will be for 18 years of age and below, the number of registrants as of now is unknown.

This painting competition will be held in the morning while the other kids will be practising their skimboarding skills at the same time. The entrants' artwork will be used if possible in the afternoon, then will be displayed in the upcoming DAGSA's Artspace Gallery.

Flat Skimboarding in Bayawan 2018

Skimboards will be provided for the entrants and at the moment is being painted by Tatay Dagsa and @flabbergast-art.

Tatay Dagsa in having his share of action!

Maybe unknown in the country, BAYAWAN is known for skimboarding, and Tatay Dagsa is quite an expert. This is a hearsay from him but...a video of his eldest son skimboarding and standing with his head on the board is enough proof for me. His 2 eldest kids have won skimboarding competitions here in Visayas.

For this year, it will be held at DAGSA's Place, sponsored by our team at @walkofhope. As this is steem-funded, we will be giving away all the prizes for all the winners for both competitions. So any kind of help and support is very much appreciated and we are very sure will give delight not only to the entrants, but also for us spectators.

Don't you just wish that you are here?

Please join US as we celebrate St. John the Baptist's feast here in Bayawan City.
