Picture Hooks Competition

[geekinm]

Just wondering if anyone else managed to enter the Picture Hooks Summer Surprises competition in the end?

https://www.picturehooks.org.uk/from-seed-to-table-summer-surprises-a-picture-hooks-competition/

FYI there is a second competition with a deadline at the end of August. Open to all and the prize is £1,000.

I don't think entries should be posted on here (unless it counts as social media - see T&C of comp) but if you want to link to your instagram account so we can see your entry that would be great.

Yes, I got it in just in time! IG has cropped it a bit weird but you get the general idea here:

Did you enter?

@geekinm @NicolaSchofield I'm working on mine right now! I missed the first deadline, but luckily there's a second deadline.

Nicola, I love your concept! It's very clever and your colors and textures are marvelous!

[NicolaSchofield]

@baileyvidler yes, it's good there's a second submission day. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thank you for your kind words about my piece

[Rachel Horne]

Hello - are the 2 submission dates separate things? If you miss the first one you can enter then second one? thanks

[NicolaSchofield]

@Rachel-Horne the prompt is the same for both days but you're free to enter something on either or both dates. There is a prize for the winner of each.

[Rachel Horne]

@NicolaSchofield oh I see, thank you Nicola

[Nico Ecenarro]

I missed the first, but submitted today to the 2nd round. I had a ton of fun coming up with concepts.

Here is the winner of the first round - they'll post runners-up through the week I think:

I just started working on something for the second submission day

[Navya Raju]

I got in the runner-up list with this piece

[NicolaSchofield]

@Navya-Raju yay, well done!

[geekinm]

@Navya-Raju Oh well done!! I liked your picture best. I do think it is a shame they don't have a little gallery so we can see more of the entries. It would be so interesting to see other people's ideas.

[baileyvidler]

Here's my finished piece! @geekinm You're totally right, I wish they had a gallery so we could see them all!

And congratulations @Navya-Raju!! Such a cute concept!

[Nico Ecenarro]

@baileyvidler great storytelling and surprise with her hat. I am loving this!

[baileyvidler]

@Nico-Ecenarro Thank you!

[Heather Boyd]

@baileyvidler wonderful! I love the progression of growth in the hat that's indeed clever. I love how you stylize your landscape (trees esp). All the best and I hadn't heard about this competition but I have saved it for next year! Thank you!

[geekinm]

This was my attempt at the first competition.

I think there may be more competitions later in the year from picture hooks.

[Navya Raju]

I submitted for the second competition at the last minute,
here's my submission

Thank you @NicolaSchofield @baileyvidler
@geekinm Thank you! I agree it would be so cool to look at all the entries.
