Have you got the bottle?
The Museum of Bath at Work are calling all budding creatives to get involved in an exciting new competition!
We are looking for those who live or work in Bath to get out their art materials and design a label for a fizzy drink- based on examples of Victorian bottle labels used by J B Bowler & Sons! The competition will run from 12th of April -10th of August 2025 and the prize for the winner will be:
-A lifetime membership to the Museum for them and their immediate family.
-VIP passes to five Museum events (like movie nights, fun activities, and special events.)
-The design to be pride of place in the ‘Bath Bottled’ exhibition! This is due to open in late August 2025.
The Exhibition will consist of fascinating facts about Bowler and sons, and how they made their fantastic, delicious drinks, such as Orange Champagne, the spicy Hot Tom, and the refreshing Bath Punch! The designs will be pride of place– so make sure that your design is as visually striking as possible.
To enter:
Step 1- Download the kids or general Inspiration Pack, or just the templates.
Step 2- Create your design- you can use paint, pencil, pen, collage, or digital media.
Step 3. Write a few words about what inspired your design (less than 100 please.)
