LAURENCE KING 20

This year Laurence King is celebrating 20 years of independent publishing and we’re giving you the chance to design some celebratory artwork for the occasion.

The winning piece will become our official 20th anniversary poster that will be distributed in Don’t Panic packs right across the country as well as being shown on www.laurenceking.com and www.grafikmag.com.

There will also be a special event showcasing the artwork at Woodbridge & Rees gallery in September.

In addition to this, there are prizes of LK books up for grabs for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place!

To celebrate the anniversary, the theme of your work should be based on the number '20'. You can interpret it broadly, but please try to stay on brief!

Also, your design must incorporate the Laurence King 20 Years logo - downloadable here.

You can upload your entries starting from now. Voting will open on the 31st August and the competition will close at midnight BST on 11th September 2011.
