Your artwork
The artwork is strongly encouraged to be drawn from life to be considered for a prize.

• You may use any art materials you like but your artwork must be two-dimensional and on good-quality paper so it can be framed for display.

• Must be A4 size (210 x 297 mm)
• Should be clearly labelled on the back with your name, age, address and contact details. Make sure this doesn't show through to the front.
