A competition for all budding young artists and architects who find themselves stuck indoors this month, The Savills Little Architects competition invites children to grab their toolboxes, pencils, paint brushes and crayons and let their imaginations run wild to create their dream home.
The different age groups each have two categories: entrants can either draw or paint their creation or make a model out of any materials they have at home. The age categories are: five years and under (little engineers), 6-10 years (junior builders) and 11-14 years (senior architects).
Each category and age group will have a winner and two runners-up. Winners receive a £50 Hobbycraft voucher, and runners-up get a £25 Hobbycraft voucher.
Patrick Brady of Savills Salisbury said: “To enter, budding young artists and architects should take a really smart photo of their creations and email them to marketing@savills.com with their name, age, where they’re from and the category they are entering before the closing date of April 23.
“We have a wonderful line up of judges tasked with finding the very best artistic young people. They are Anne Ashworth, property and financial journalist and broadcaster and former editor of The Times Bricks and Mortar; Johnny Messum, founder of Messums Art Galleries; and Alison Parkhouse from Savills. There is another chance to win in a People’s Choice award voted by the public so those wanting to vote should keep an eye on our social media platforms for their chance to judge the artwork.”
The winning creations will be shared with the world via the Savills website alongside the firm’s Instagram and Twitter feeds. Terms and conditions can be found on the Savills website.
