The Spencil Art Prize 2021
The Spencil Art Prize invites young artists to submit original artwork in any ‘flat’ medium for the chance to win the major prize in two categories – under 8 and 9-13 years old.
The inaugural 2021 Spencil Art Prize was born from its predecessor the annual Spencil Book Cover Design Competition which attracted more than 700 entries last year.
Prizes include a collaboration with Spencil’s in-house designers to create new products with their winning designs, giving them the opportunity to see their work come to life in new media and shared with even more kids to love. Every eligible entry is hung in The Spencil Art Prize Gallery.
The Spencil Art Prize is open for entries now and closes on 17 February. Entries will be reviewed by our esteemed panel of judges and winners announced on 5 March 2021.
