It wil be presented on Speech Night by Ms Gyton.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage all students to submit work in any drawing media on any subject and on any scale.<\/p>\n<p>Eligible entrants are students in Years 7 to 11.<\/p>\n<p>The Prize was founded by Architect Howard Tanner to encourage and celebrate the skill of drawing. Students should think of drawing in its broadest stylistic forms, from expressive to realistic, to observational to imaginative and in drawing media from lead and coloured pencil to charcoal, pen or ink. Consider line, tone and mark making as the fundamental drawing components. Students can be as experimental or formal as they like in their approach. To honour the intentions of Howard Tanner, no works created by digital means are accepted for this Prize.<\/p>\n<p>An exhibition of finalist\u2019s drawings will be displayed in JF1 in Term 4.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples from SCEGGS students past and present:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-26293 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure
