There is no right or wrong, we want to see where your imagination takes you. Your idea can be funny, fantastical, beautiful, strange, futuristic, magical, thought-provoking or something we’ve never seen before..! You might create an impossible landscape, invent a strange new creature, transform an everyday object, show us life in the future or completely reimagine the world around you.
The competition is open to all children and young people who live in Oxfordshire who are aged between 5 and 16. There are three age categories:
Superb judges, lots of prizes to be won, and every entry received will be shown at our “Imagine if….!” art exhibition at the wonderful Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot. The exhibition opens with a private view and prize-giving evening for entrant’s families and friends on Friday 8th January 2027 6pm-8pm.
So come on and “Imagine if….!”
Adults, take a photo of the entry (one entry per child) and email it along with the entrant’s name, age and title (which should complete the sentence ‘Imagine If…’) and email it to artcomp@artschool.org.uk
