Think outside the Box!
 
How often have you heard this phrase in challenges – not just in art, but in life in general.  This season we’re asking you to quite literally – think outside the box!
 
Boxes come in many shapes and sizes, they are sometimes filled with surprises, or letters, sometimes completely empty, sometimes slightly shabby and misshapen, sometime the promise of a whole future together.
 
But box can also relate to boxing, you can have your ears boxed, you can feel boxed in, or you can have your past boxed away…
 
Surprise us with your take on ‘box’…

The Rules are Simple:

  1. Artworks can be in any style – whether its impressionistic, contemporary, realism or abstract etc.
  2. Dry Media must be the hero – complete 80% of your artwork in Pastel, Coloured Pencil, Graphite, Oil pastel or Charcoal.
  3. Submit a clear high resolution .jpg image of your artwork via our submission form before the deadline timer at the top of this page runs out.  Rename your artwork file to your name and artwork title eg. John Smith – Masterpiece. Keep your file size between 2mb and 5mb.
