Christmas Silk Competition
Join in our exciting festive competition to design a unique Christmas jockey racing silk.
Use all your imagination and creativity to create a Silk design that captures the joy and excitement of Christmas.
What is a Jockey Silk?
Simply put, a jockey silk – also known as racing colours – is a silk coat and cap in the colours of the horse’s owner, that is worn by jockeys when they race. Each design is unique so that it can be identified as belonging to that owner, similar to a team’s football kit or school uniform.
The Task
Open to all ages, this competition asks participants to design their own Christmas-themed Jockey Silk. Entries can be submitted using the template provided or be an original drawing/design. You may use any artistic materials of your choice, whether it’s coloured pencils, crafts, digital tools, or a combination. Feel free to experiment!
