ARTWORK OF LOCAL NATURE OR YOUR UTOPIAN VISION!
Create an artwork inspired by your local environment, or envision a fantastical world where nature designs our cities, where we coexist harmoniously with nature’s wonders!
Children and young people are free to choose from creating a painting, drawing, mixed media collage, or 3D model from any medium as long as you can take a digital photo of the final piece and either upload via our ‘easy online form’ SIMPLE! Digital art or photography artworks are NOT eligible. Please submit a photo of the artwork not the child holding the artwork.
Share your child’s own personal experience with Nature. From nature reserves to your nearest garden flowers, park trees, sea, or mountains, nature is free of peer pressure and judgement, and we are all equal when experiencing it. Your child can create an artwork of their own favourite experience with nature in UK.
OR Let your child’s imagination run wild as you envision a world where nature takes the lead in designing our urban environment. Embrace the surreal and explore the concept of coexisting with nature in perfect harmony.
