Cartoons / Anime

The competition aims to encourage young people to be creative, develop skills, in both traditional or contemporary cartoons, demonstrate their interpretation of the subject and express personal ideas through their selected medium.

​​

The task is to produce one original, unframed piece of cartoon work, up to a maximum size of A2, based upon the given subject. We welcome artwork in any medium, for example pen and ink, paint, digital.

​

Plagiarised, “close copied”, or AI generated entries are not permitted in any of the categories. It is important that we protect the work of creative individuals. Whilst we are all inspired by the work of others, there is without doubt a grey area where inspiration carries over to close copying. For our competitions “close copying” is where, to a reasonable person, the submitted entry appears remarkably similar in significant, important respects to a body of work created elsewhere. We are looking for original pieces, not copies or AI generated pieces, which match the theme of the competition.
