Easter Colouring Contest

Easter Colouring Contest

Posted by Tyler Schwartz on 30th Mar 2022

AND THE WINNERS ARE ...

April 14, 2022 - It's time to announce the winners of RetroFestive's Easter Colouring Contest for Adults! 

We were bowled over by the strong response, with nearly 120 entries received. There were SO MANY outstanding submissions it was incredibly difficult to decide on the ones that should be declared THE BEST. Dozens of entries could easily contend for top prize. So, hats off to our talented fans and customers!

Undaunted by the task at hand, we gathered five of the greatest minds in today's art world (who also, coincidentally, work in our warehouse) to determine who should be awarded our merry muppet basket. This esteemed panel of judges kept the following criteria in mind while making their decisions:

  • Make it Muppet-y
  • Make it Easter-y
  • Entries will be judged on skill, technique and creativity

To our contest participants: Please know, if your entry isn't included below, it doesn't mean we didn't LOVE it! There were so many more deserving submissions! So much so, that we've decided to award TEN honourable mentions, who will each receive a $20 credit at RetroFestive. 

See all the entries on Instagram #ColourMeRetroFestive (Note: there are many posts with multiple images/entries in a single post. So be sure to click through them all.)


Congratulations to Grand Prize winner: GAGE MINARD

This colourful submission was the sweet combination of everything we were looking for: 

Easter-y, Muppet-y, wonderfully creative and brilliantly artistic.

In Muppet terms, it's inspirational, celebrational AND Muppetational!


Let's hear it for our Second Place winner: KATIE HUSAK!

Katie wowed us with her digital art skills. The talented use of texture, colour, lighting and shading are impressive! We also noticed her entry got LOTS of likes and mentions from our Instagram followers. In fact, there were several digitally created submissions - and the contest was close - but in the end, our team gave Katie's entry top points. Katie will be awarded a $100 RetroFestive gift card for  Muppet Merchandise, or anything on the site!

A TIE for Third Place!: TINA BRAUN & PETER MARTINI

We just couldn't decide, so we chose TWO third place winners! Tina Braun, who dazzled us with her artistic abilities using Prisma colour pencils. And Peter Martini, who worked in LOTS of little Easter details, plus some excellent colouring and shading work! Tina and Peter will each receive a $50 RetroFestive Gift Card.
