BBC Wildlife Magazine Competition

Press Release dated: Friday, March 14, 2003

Christmas has come early this year... we are looking for a set of wildlife cards that BBC Wildlife Readers, World Land Trust supporters and Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) members will be proud to send out next Christmas. This contest is open to all artists, amateur or professional, anywhere in the world. The top prize is publication of your artwork as the Christmas card of the magazine, the World Land Trust and the SWLA, 100 copies of your card, display of your artwork in the SWLA's annual exhibition and £500. There will be a special prize of £100 for the winning illustration by an artist aged 17 or under: this may also be published as a card.
Make sure your subject is in the spirit of Christmas as well as relevant to wildlife, (visit our project pages for ideas) - the judges will be particularly interested in designs featuring endangered species and aspects of international wildlife conservation although this is not essential.
You can use any medium you like, but bear in mind that the final result is to be printed as a card, and so it should be of reasonably standard proportions (no bigger than A3)- though, like the "Belize Christmas" card, your design could run from the front to the back of the card. Finally to keep the appeal as wide as possible, avoid the use of words in your design.

Judges
Viv Burton, administrator of The World Land Trust: Rosamund Kidman Cox, editor of BBC Wildlife Magazine; Jan Pienkowski, celebrated illustrator of children's books and artist. Prof John Norris Wood, Royal College of Art; Bruce Pearson, artist and president of the Society of Wildlife Artists.

To enter
Pack your artwork well and ensure sufficient postage for its safe return if you would like it back when the competition and exhibition have ended, and send it to : Christmas Card Competition, World Land Trust, Blyth House, Bridge Street, Halesworth, Suffolk IP19 8AB UK, it must arrive by 17 May 2003. If you are aged 17 or under please mark your entry with a "J".
