ATL artwork competition
Do you have a creative spark that you want to nurture in your students? Then read on to find out how to enter ATL's first ever art competition...
In return for your time and the students' creativity, you'll receive fabulous prizes for individuals, whole classes and schools.
We want to encourage students to think about the future of education and what that may mean for them, be creative and express themselves. We will welcome drawings, paintings, collages, cartoons, photographs, computer generated images, sculptures and more. We're looking for bright, bold colours and lots of imagination!
Shortlist of 40 finalists announced!

How do I enter?
Entering the competition couldn't be easier:
Decide which category your student/s would be eligible to enter: early years (six and under), primary, secondary or post-16.
Work with your student/s to create the artwork, or select the artwork for entry.
Take a digital photograph of the artwork.
Email your photograph to artcompetition@atl.org.uk.
Please ensure that the following is clearly stated in the email: the name of member nominating the piece of artwork, along with their membership number, the students name, age and the category they are entering. Please also include a few words on why the student chose to do this piece of art, to accompany the emailed picture.
