COMPETITION CLOSED 1 JULY 2017
Keep coming back here for more as the Festival process unfolds.
For all budding branding types out there - the Aotearoa Catholic Youth Festival organisers are seeking submissions for the official theme of the Festival. This opportunity is open to all in the Festival focus age range 15-29.
CRITERIA
The theme must appeal to young people by engaging them in a way that immediately touches their hearts and minds. The theme must reflect the joyful and exciting atmosphere of the Festival and the overall focus of the festival articulated as:
“an encounter with God, with other young people, with the Church, with their own faith story and with their future “full of hope”. The aim is an encounter that invites and challenges young people to active participation in local faith communities – growing local Church communities that are outwardly focussed / mission oriented as Pope Francis is encouraging the Church today.
The festival will aim to build up and serve the Church by bringing forward and highlighting the gifts of young people and their role in the Church’s mission in NZ society. As one example, the music used at the festival will be engaging, relevant, and appropriate, leading and enabling young people to implement best practice in their home faith communities. The process will affirm the place of young people while asking them to hear the dreams of those who have passed faith to them; to imagine how the world might be more fair and just; and to commit to active involvement in bringing these hopes into reality – the fostering of the Kingdom of God.”
SOURCE MATERIAL
The theme should draw on the goals of Tu Kahikatea – The NZ Catholic Bishop’s framework for ministry with young people. The goals are:
FORMAT

The organisers reserve the right to utilise the submission in English and/or Te Reo Maori and get the alternative language translated by subject matter experts.
The theme should be accompanied by an explanation that will be used (possibly with agreed adaptations) on the Festival website. Two submitters may provide similar or identical words or phrases and the defining factor in determining the winner will be the quality of the explanation.
