We are incredibly excited to launch the second part of our MOTHERLAND CREATES series, a children’s art competition on the theme ‘Under the Sea’. For this competition – which is open to all children aged 10 and under – we’ve joined forces with Anorak magazine. Entries will be judged by Anorak founder Cathy Olmedillas, designer Donna Wilson, and Motherland Creative Director Barney Beech.

The competition will be judged in two categories: Under-5s and Under-10s, and there will be first and second prizes (detailed below) for both categories. The best entries will also be published in the July issue of Anorak, and on Motherland.net

To enter, you must submit a picture (it could be a drawing or painting) by your child, on the theme ‘Under the Sea’. Digital copies of the pictures should be emailed to creates@motherland.net with the subject line ‘MOTHERLAND DRAWS’ by 25 March 2016. Please state your child’s name and age. Please also hold onto the hard copy of your picture as we will ask the winner entrants to send us the original piece by post!

The winners will be announced on Monday 11 April. Good luck!
