Derwent and Paleta Art in Poland launched an exciting art competition in art schools in November 2011. The theme was 'Polish Architecture' and the response was fantastic with many students eager to enter. I think you'll agree the winners and runners up work is of a wonderfully high standard.1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will all receive a selection of Derwent products as well as the opportunity for their entry to be displayed in the Pencil Museum, for 1 month following the competition and to be featured on our social media sites.
Furthermore, the 1st place winner will also have the opportunity to work to a brief, with our design team, to create a step by step workshop programme using brand new, yet to be launched, Derwent product. The final step by step will be featured on our website and has the potential to feature in further marketing used by Derwent. Finished pieces of work will be returned to schools for re-distribution to individual students.
The winner was a piece named 'Gdansk' Adrian Rogala from Domin school in Poland.

Second prize was awarded to Agata Skoneczna from Domin school, with her drawing of the Lichen Sanctuary.

Third prize went to Magda Rusek from Labirynt, for her piece named 'Wooden Chapel'.

The Highly Commended prize was awarded to Edyta Fularz, Labirynt for the piece 'Country House'.

We'd like to thank all the students for their entries and to Paleta Art for their hard work in organising and helping to choose the winners!
