CELEBRATION OF FAITH
2012 Theme: My Friends in the Faith
Calling
all Orthodox youth to celebrate your faith and participate in the F.O.C.A.’s creative arts contest
All
youth who are communicants in a parish or mission of a canonical
Orthodox
Church in
The
theme is very broad. This should allow
for a lot of creative ideas. A portrait
of a person showing character, an icon made in traditional or modern
styles, or
a painting of the church with people in it are
acceptable
visual examples that will demonstrate the theme. A
poem about yourself and the church, an
essay explaining your faith and growing up in the church,
and a special faith-based story about a friend or loved one in the
church would
also be great interpretations of the theme for literature entries. Compositions of sound and music with words or
harmonies suited to the theme will also be accepted.
A photo or collage of photos related to the
church and faith will also be a great way to share your faith and
participate
in the contest.
Create
and submit art projects in the following areas:
— Literature — Musical
Composition
— Photography — Visual Arts
A detailed list of rules for each category and entry forms may be found on the FOCA website or through your Jr. Advisor or your Youth Coordinator.
Entries will be
displayed and awards presented at
the National F.O.C.A. Convention.
