Super Me - Drawing Competition |
Art Competition | Ideal for 5-7
Your class will LOVE this inclusive activity - get creative today!
What can they draw?
They can really let their imaginations fly as they design costumes and think up amazing superpowers. You can even combine art and literacy by encouraging your pupils to add labels or a short description to their pictures.
What happens to the pictures?
Your pupils' drawings will be published in a full-colour book (subject to parental permission), so get out the colouring pencils and pens, and use this checklist to ensure their pictures will look fantastic in the book. The winners will then be chosen from the published entries.
If any of your pupils would like to write a story, check out Ridiculous Writers!
Extended Closing Date: Friday 4th Sep 2026
