Competitions On The Way

I've been looking around for competitions to enter lately, just for something different to do from university work that's still creative and still counts towards me becoming a better illustrator. Anyway, thought I'd share some of my favourite looking ones with you, in chronological order, how about that!

Lloyds TSB 'The Art Of Nurture':

Basically make anything you want that can go on a wall in a bank, with considerable cash prizes! Last years winner by Karolina Raczynski is above.

Competition closes 31st JANUARY 2010

Nobrow:

This competition is based on the themes of "People I've Never Met and Conversations I've Never Had", based around Nick White's new Nobrow book under the same name. The original book looks really interesting, and you can see and buy it here: http://www.nobrow.net/nobrow-press

The description of the competition on the Flickr page reads:

"So Nobrow asks you to submit one image of a person you've never met, and one other image illustrating a conversation you've never had. This can be a drawing, photograph, collage, etching, or whatever medium you want. A selection of the submissions will then be compiled and made into a book published by Nobrow Press."

Find the flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1185256@N25/

It's a really broad topic and I think really interesting. There are some beautiful submissions already on the group for it on Flickr (where they're accepting submissions). I think it's well worth having a go at this whether you're entering or not.

Competition closes on FEBRUARY 15TH 2010.

Create for Tate:

Again a very open brief, looks pretty interesting. If you've ever been to any of the Tate galleries you'll know they sell all kinds of weird and wonderful wares promoting them and creativity in general... and you can design one of them! Again, some already lovely entries so get in now!
