This competition challenges you to express your personal narrative, cultural heritage, or the universal concept of home through your unique artistic lens.
10 projects will be shortlisted in each category for public display at The Northern School of Art as part of The Northern Festival of Illustrations in September 2025 in Hartlepool with a theme of ‘Stories of Home’.
