Competition details

How to enter

Share how these amazing books have inspired your pupils by showcasing their Greenaway Greats creations in our new online gallery, and be in with the chance to win a visit from one of the illustrators themselves…

If your pupils have:

  • Had a go at the creative activities in the Greenaway Greats reading resources
  • Risen to the creative challenges set by the Greenaway Greats illustrators on YouTube
  • Used our empty belly poster template to redesign their favourite Greenaway Greats book cover
  • Transformed your school library or reading space, or come up with their own unique creation inspired by the books…

We’d love to see!

You can submit up to ten photos of children’s individual artworks or group displays to Artsmark’s online gallery, or even link to a video on YouTube or Vimeo that showcases their work.
