Make Art That Sells is ten years old this year, and to help us celebrate, we asked you to create a birthday card featuring the number ten. As ever, you blew us away with your imagination and creativity.
It was incredibly hard to pick a winner, but a winner we must have – so, with no further ado, huge congrats to the winner of our birthday card competition …
Jan Schmidt!
The winning entry, by Make Art That Sells student Jan Schmidt.
Jan wins a FREE place in our final LIVE course for 2023, Illustrating Children’s Books. Illustrating Children’s Books is one of our most popular courses, and no wonder – our graduates have gone on to land hundreds of book deals (read about some of them here).
In just five weeks, from Monday, October 9th, you’ll build a powerful pitch presentation that contains everything a publisher or art director needs to see to give you picture book illustration work: find out more here.
Art agent Lilla looked at every single entry submitted to the gallery before the deadline and told us she also wanted to recognise these gorgeous entries, each of which wins our Best of Bootcamp: Market Mix 1 bundle as a runner up prize:
