The Howard Tanner Prize for Drawing is a special award for Drawing which is presented on Speech Night by Ms Allum.

We encourage all art students to submit work in any drawing media on any subject and on any scale. You can select drawings from classwork or create drawings at home using the skills learnt in art classes or co-curricular drawing with Lilli Stromland.

Eligible entrants are students from Year 9, 10 and 11 and Year 7 and 8 students who attend co-curricular Drawing classes here at SCEGGS.

An exhibition of submitted drawings will be displayed in JF1 in Term 4.

As it is an award for observational drawing it does not include manga or cartoon imagery yet we are especially interested to see students explore forms of experimental and expanded drawing. Digital drawings are also being accepted this year but in the spirit of the prize’s intentions, please refrain from submitting work created with AI.

Here are some examples of entries:

You can hand in up to 3 drawings to Ms Jackson in the art staffroom at any time by the second Friday of Term 4, 25 October by 9.00am.

Please make sure your name and your year is clearly marked on the back of your work.

Looking forward to seeing your great work!
