Get Creative with Dangerous Creatures

Body Art competition

It is time to put your cre­at­ive think­ing caps on for the fourth uSh­aka Marine World Body Art com­pet­i­tion tak­ing place on Saturday 12 September 2009. This com­pet­i­tion takes place at the uSh­aka Village Walk so bring the whole fam­ily for a day of fun.

This year the theme is “Dangerous Creatures” and artists are urged to pull out all the stops. Inspiration can be found at uShaka’s Dangerous Creatures Exhibition which fea­tures snakes, spiders, scor­pi­ons and frogs. Use these creatures in cre­at­ing your win­ning design ...

Of course no com­pet­i­tion is com­plete without a prize and the win­ner of this one will walk away with R5000 in cash as well as a chance to go into the uShaka’s hall of fame. If you wish to take part you need to sub­mit your entry to the uSh­aka Marine World Management Offices by 14h00 on Monday 7 September 2009. Your entry must con­sist of an A4 story­board illus­trat­ing your idea and medium of choice as well as an 80-word concept explanation.

Not only will the com­pet­i­tion be tak­ing place, but there will be lots of enter­tain­ment as well with chances for the whole fam­ily to win great prizes. And don’t for­get that all guests vis­it­ing the park on the day sport­ing a tat­too will only pay R10 for an uSh­aka Marine World combo ticket.

Body Art competition

Ushaka Marine World is a unique aquar­ium exper­i­ence as it is one of the five largest aquar­i­ums in the world and has a ship-wreck theme. You can view one of the largest col­lec­tions of sharks in the south­ern hemi­sphere and amble your way through half a kilo­metre of themed view­ing tanks, seven large aquar­ium tanks and 25 mar­ine exhib­its. You can also take a dip in the snorkel lagoon and swim with a few of the creatures in it or if you’re feel­ing brave you can get into the pro­tect­ive cage in the shark tank and get up close and per­sonal with some of the sharks.

The uSh­aka Wet ‘n Wild enter­tain­ment centre is great fun, with water slides and pools that cater for every one (those who enjoy a bit of danger as well as those who like to take it easy). There are a num­ber eat­er­ies and shops to spend some time in as well. There is always some­thing to keep you busy at uSh­aka Marine World. Come and spend the day, par­ti­cip­ate in the com­pet­i­tion, explore the sea world and con­quer your fear of sharks.
