March and April; the spring equinox that closes off the cold winters and announces the rebirth of nature for a new year of bountiful prospects.
Spring equinox is traditionally represented also with the Easter Holiday, at least in American and European cultures. In other worldwide cultures, Spring is their New Year!
But what other festivities celebrates Spring? Well, we've got a list here, and for this special event, @pangaeanculture invites all artists to submit any art representation of Spring and its related Festivals!
Spring Festivals (not an extensive list, only some of the most popular ones; and that's the point of this contest, to show unknown ones too!):
- Easter (Christian Festival)
- Holi (Hindu Festival)
- Nowruz (Iranian Festival)
- Spring Festivals Traditions (a list of all Spring Day events and festivities across the world)
- Dita e Verës (Albanian Spring Day)
- Cherry Blossom Festivals (Japanese & Chinese Festival), including Hanami
- Sechseläuten (Switzerland Spring event)
- Marzanna and others (Polish Spring events)
- Fallas (Spanish Festival)
- Mexican Carnival
- Songkran (Thai Festival)
- Baba Marta (Bulgarian Festival)
- Pahela Falgun (Bengali Festival)
- And more, according to your own culture!
You can write a story, a poem, take a photo, paint, draw, photomanipulate, sculpt, create a music (even instrumental one), make a video, anything you want! You can even collaborate with other members (you know the saying, two brains is better than one ) Go wild with your creations!
What's even better, is that both members and non-members can participate! After all, spring is an universal celebration.
