The Serco Prize for Illustration: Call for entries

Deadline for entries: 17.00, Friday 6 April 2012
Exhibition: Tuesday 13 November to Monday 10 December 2012

London Transport Museum, in partnership with the Association of Illustrators
(AOI), is delighted to announce that submissions are now welcome for the
2012 Serco Prize for Illustration. This year the theme is Secret London.
Entrants are asked to create an illustration that explores a hidden side to
the city. Entries can depict little known or unusual aspects of the
Capital’s history, culture, characters and communities - past or present.
This is an exciting challenge for artists to celebrate a vibrant,
multi-layered London in a way it has never been seen before.

The competition is open to students and illustrators throughout the world.
The top 50 entries selected by a panel of judges will be displayed in an
exhibition at London Transport Museum that will open Tuesday 13 November and
run until Monday 10 December 2012. The winners will be announced at a
private award ceremony on the evening of Monday 12 November 2012.

Prizes will be awarded in three levels:

First prize: £2000
Second prize: £1000
Third prize: £750

The winning entry will appear on Transport for London services as a poster.
