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!

"Driving through Landscape" by Ally age 8, London

Inspired by the elephant orphans at David Sheldricks Wildlife Trust in Kenya, SJ decided he wanted to draw a Mummy elephant with her baby. A lot of these babies become orphans when their mothers are killed by poachers for their ivory, and SJ wants to get out the message to stop the ivory trade. He's 11.

Forgot to say we live in the North East... oops!

My son (age 8) did this fab birthday card for his Great Uncle Alan, the nearest thing he has to a granddad. I think cropped down, it would make a fabulous bright summer billboard. Would definitely cheer people up. I particularly like that everyone is wearing sunglasses including all the sea creatures.

Oops, forgot to say we are in the North West.

Here is my daughters drawing of a flower on a summers day. She's 6.
