Child aged 5-11 who loves drawing? Enter the BIC® competition

This activity has now closed

We have been asked by the team at BIC® to find MNers with budding artists who fancy having their artwork on display in their local town!

BIC® is hosting a competition here on Mumsnet where children aged 5-11 can submit their drawings and be in with a chance to win a £50 BIC® bundle and get their artwork featured on a billboard in their hometown!

“It doesn’t matter if your child thinks the sky should be yellow, the sun pink, or the grass purple – we want to see the nation’s most imaginative drawings. All you need to do, is send a photo of your kid’s best drawing by the 6th August. Entries will then be judged by our panel of expert creatives and winners will be notified before the billboards are launched in September,” says Rebecca Huda from BIC®.

So get your child to hand draw an original image of their choice and post a photograph on this thread, along with the age of your child and your region. Ensure you keep the artwork as if your child wins, you will need to send in the original.

You need to be a registered Mumsnetter to take part so if you are not and want to enter please register here.

NOTE:

• This competition is open to all UK children who will be aged between 5 and 11 years old on 6th August 2017.
  
• 10 winners will be chosen by BIC® judges (judges will take the entrant’s age, creativity, use of colour and drawing/colouring ability into consideration) and they will all win a £50 BIC® bundle AND a 48-sheet billboard of their winning artwork in their hometown (or nearest town with billboard spaces).
  
• One entry will also be chosen at random to win a £300 Tesco voucher.
  
• There can only be one entry per child but can be multiple entries per Mumsnetter if you have more than one child aged 5-11yrs.
  
• Competition is open from 17th July - 6th August so get creative!
  
  As the winning artwork will be shown on your local billboard, you’re welcome to name change if desired for the purposes of entry.
  
  Best of luck - we can’t wait to see your drawings!

Hi everyone

All 10 winners were selected and contacted yesterday and we are in touch with them to organise getting their artwork made in billboards. I'm afraid we won't be announcing the winners until September to coincide with the billboard launch so it's a surprise! We will be posting on this thread as soon as it can be announced though.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part, we were overwhelmed by how amazing all the artwork was and it was very difficult to pick just 10 winners .

[Scoleah]

Just Emailed MN. The winners were emailed yesterday! So if no email we weren't successful! X

[mandes1]

I know. my 3 boys are bugging me over who won. I don't have the heart to tell them that because I posted last minute, I only had the chance to enter one of their drawings! It was bad enough when they found out they didn't win the CITV story competition!

[Emmahayes79]

Does anyone know who the winners were? X

[Ninjakittysmells]

Oh good, I wrote it and thought I would be shot down for it! They are only little, it's nice they are enthusiastic about colouring as I have to really persuade Ds to sit still long enough normally!

[Scoleah]

Great idea Ninja! X

[Donnabaillie]

I was thinking of doing the same thing!!

[MonsterArt]

Brilliant plan, @Ninjakittysmells, I may do the same for my son.

[Ninjakittysmells]

I've cheated and am going to put some haribo and a congratulations card in the post for Ds to get next week...... I know it's not teaching them about losing etc etc but he's been so excited and he would be over the moon with it

(I do let him lose regularly in other stuff by way, I'm not being a total PFB I promise!)

[Donnabaillie]

It says on the terms and conditions that the winner would be notified by half 5 I'm afraid so I'm not holding out much hope for my wee one sadly

[Scoleah]

Anyone heard anything yet? I haven't told my DD their choosing today! I won't hear the end of it! X

[Solo]

I expect there are many!

[Racht22]

Not just my child thats impatient then Solo
