If you grew up in the 90s you will love Aylesbury's exhibition
A new competition has been launched which is linked to the ongoing nostalgia-infusing exhibition taking place at a museum in Aylesbury.
Discover Bucks Museum has launched a writing competition to accompany its ongoing ‘I Grew Up 90s’ showcase.
I Grew Up 90s celebrates all things from the decade from Britpop anthems and cargo pants to dial-up internet and cultural change.
Discover Bucks Museum is asking participants to pen a mini memoir of up to 500 words reflecting on their own experiences of growing up, living, or coming of age in the 90s.
Entries will be judged by members of the Discover Bucks Museum team. A chosen winner will claim a 90s-themed prize bundle along with an annual museum pass. Second and third place winners will also receive an annual pass. The top three memoirs will be printed and displayed within the I Grew Up 90s exhibition.
Entries can be submitted to the museum via email here. Participants are asked to use the subject line ‘My 90s Memoir’ and include contact details within the email, and submissions should be sent as an attachment on word or on a PDF.
Entries must be received by 23:59 on 28 January. Winners will be notified on February 6 and AI must not be used to assist with the writing. Entrants are told to avoid graphic violence, bad language or offensive content. Aylesbury’s museum is running the 90s-themed exhibition until February 22. Visitors can revisit toys, games, fashion, films, music and television shows that shaped a generation during the exhibition, the museum says.
