Children's drawing competition!

In November, SKA will host several themed home games, including the fan-favourite 'Children's Match which is an event for the club's youngest supporters. A notable theme is the player profiles, illustrated by children themselves.

The club is launching a children's drawing contest, running between the 24th and 29th of October. Children under the age of 14 are eligible to participate.

Entrants should create a portrait of an SKA player (or players), coach or staff member using the reference photos provided on the club's website. Each drawing must feature only one individual. There is no limit to the number of entries a single participant may submit.

Completed drawings should be submitted as a high-quality scan or photograph (ensuring a clear image taken in daylight or bright artificial light that does not distort the colors) to the email address kids@ska.ru, with the subject line 'Drawing Contest' no later than 29 October. Please include the author's first and last name, age and a parent's contact phone number in the body of the email.

Upon receipt of an entry, the club will send a confirmation email containing a consent form for the use of the submitted artwork; this form must be completed and returned to the club. The original drawings of the winning entries must be brought to one of the home games, with further details set to be provided in the confirmation email. A club representative will contact all winners via the phone number provided. The winners of the contest will be chosen by the SKA players themselves; all submitted drawings will be taken to the team’s dressing room, where the players will select the ones to be displayed on the SKA Arena's jumbotron on 13 November. Furthermore, every single participant will receive a promotional code which can be used to purchase tickets for one of SKA’s home games at a discounted price.
