Mental Wealth Festival Art and Colouring Competitions

As part of the 2024 Mental Wealth Festival at City Lit, we are running two special art competitions to demonstrate how pictures can help our mental health. 

The first competition asks aspiring and established artists to show us what makes them happy at work or college by creating a story in three pictures. Artwork can be completed in any style or medium, including both digital and physical works, and submitted either in person at City Lit college or online via admin@booksbeyondwords.co.uk  

Our second competition encourages everyone to get creative by colouring in pictures from one of our popular stories about friendship and trying new things, Lucy Goes Riding, A Day at the Beach or Ginger is a Hero.  

You can download the entry forms and colouring pages below, or pick them up in person from City Lit college in London.

The winner from both competitions will be treated to afternoon tea at the House of Lords with Beyond Words’ Founder and Chair, Professor Sheila the Baroness Hollins. 

Entries must be taken in person to City Lit by 12pm on Saturday 12 October, or sent to admin@booksbeyondwords.co.uk by 12pm Tuesday 8 October to qualify. 

Terms and conditions apply.
