Nessie competition judging day!

Posted on 22 July 2010 · 1 Comment

Today’s the day – this afternoon I will go to London to choose the winning entries in the Loch Ness Monster art competition. I can’t wait, as I haven’t seen any of them yet. Of course I always find this sort of thing difficult – I love children’s drawings and I expect I’ll want them ALL to win!

Meanwhile Orchard Books have requested a piece of finished art from “Katie in Scotland” for their Frankfurt Book Fair catalogue, so I’m going to pass on this piece, which is NEARLY finished. I’ll whip it into shape this morning before hopping on my train to London!

And as soon as I can I’ll post some info about the winners of the competition. It may be that Orchard will wish to notify people by post first, in which case I’ll have to be patient. But watch this space!
