HOW DOES IT WORK?

Once entries close, an expert judging panel will select regional finalists from each region of the UK and Republic of Ireland, whose artworks will be displayed between Monday, August 26 – Sunday, September 8, 2019.

The represented regions are:

London

South East England

South West England

East of England

East Midlands

West Midlands

Yorkshire and the Humber

North East England

North West England

Scotland

Wales

Ireland

Northern Ireland

Please note, finalists will be notified on Monday, August 5, 2019, and must ensure original, uncreased artworks are received in a hardback envelope by Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at the latest.

Once all the finalists’ artworks are on display, a public vote will open here on the campaign website. The entrant who receives the most votes will be announced as the overall champion and their artwork will be displayed for another campaign between Monday, September 23 – Sunday, October 6, 2019.

In addition to priceless public recognition of their work, the winner will receive BIC^® stationery goodies and a creative art party.

HOW IS IT JUDGED?

Entrants are encouraged to draw with as much freedom and creativity as possible. In order to pick the eventual winners, the judging panel will award marks for:

Creativity and use of colour – Why can’t the sky be orange? Is the artist seeing in technicolour?

Good composition and artistic ability – How is space used and technical ability demonstrated?

Interesting subject matter – Is there a story? Does it show emotion?

GOOD LUCK!
