Win a Magical Evening with the
The Nutcracker "Setting the Stage" Sweepstakes
Presented by The Seattle Times Company and Pacific Northwest Ballet
BE PART OF THE MAGIC!
Create your own Nutcracker scene and you could attend a performance for FREE! Pacific Northwest Ballet's Nutcracker, featuring the amazing choreography of Kent Stowell and fantastic sets and costumes of Maurice Sendak (Where The Wild Things Are), has been a Northwest tradition for over 20 years.
WHAT TO DO
- Throughout the week of November 12–18, hunt for Nutcracker characters
hidden in the pages of The Seattle Times and the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer — two characters will appear
every day from Monday through Saturday, and three on Sunday.
- Color each character to look just the way you want.
Cut out and save each one!
- Look for the entry form in the Entertainment & the Arts section of the Sunday newspaper on Sunday, November 18. Attach your characters to the empty stage to make this Nutcracker scene the most exciting ever!
- Send in your entry! You'll find mailing instructions in next Sunday's ad. Entries must be received by 5 pm, Monday, November 27, 2007.
GRAND PRIZE
One grand-prize winner will receive a magical Nutcracker weekend for four, including four
tickets to the ballet, accommodations at The Westin Seattle hotel, dinner at Ivar's Acres of Clams at Pier 54, a backstage tour during intermission and a selection of Nutcracker souvenirs autographed by PNB dancers.
FIRST-PLACE PRIZES
Ten first-place winners will receive four tickets each to a performance of Nutcracker.
SEE YOUR ARTWORK ON DISPLAY!
We think every entry is a winner. Even if you don't win one of the prizes listed above, your creation will be displayed in the lobby of McCaw Hall from December 8–27 for every Nutcracker visitor to admire! Be sure to look for your entry when you attend Nutcracker this year.
KIDS' ART TIPS
The Nutcracker Says:
- Color the characters before cutting them out—it's much easier!
- Use crayons or colored pencils instead of markers, which can tear the paper.
- Be very careful when cutting out the characters, or ask an adult to help.
- When you attach the characters to your entry on Sunday, make sure to stick them on firmly! Glue or rubber cement works best, but you can also use clear tape.
