Charity Card Design Competition Launches On The Isle Of Wight

An Island charity is calling all artists, designers, lockdown creatives and doodlers!

Independent Arts have launched a competition for Islanders to design their new thank you card.

The Island-based charity, who use the arts to improve wellbeing, quality of life and to reduce social isolation, are looking for two new thank you

card designs which will be used to write thank you notes to our supporters, donors, fundraisers, and volunteers.

The two winning designs will be professionally produced and printed by Independent Arts. Each winning artist will be credited on the reverse of the card.

The winners will also receive a pack of 10 cards featuring their design.

Entries will be split into two categories of Under 18 and Over 18, with a winner picked from each.

Independent Arts hopes the activity may inspire people’s lockdown creative streak, or perhaps make a great homeschool art lesson for the younger entrants!

Community Engagement Manager Hannah Griffiths said:

“We are hoping that this competition will be a way to get your creative juices flowing and create something wonderful to thank our generous donors.”

The competition closes at 4pm Wednesday 31 March and a winner from each category will be chosen by a panel of judges made up of

Independent Arts staff and trustees.

The winning submissions will be announced on social media, newsletter and website in April, before going to production and into daily use by the charity

Downloadable entry forms can be found on Independent Arts website.
