Calling all mini Picassos and budding Van Goghs! If you’ve got a young artist at home, we’ve got a canvas-sized challenge for them. We’re on the lookout for imaginative digital illustrations that capture the essence of life at a British boarding school. Think dorm room escapades, classroom capers, and playground pandemonium!
Here’s the lowdown:
Eligibility: Young digital artists under 18 years of age
Deadline: November 30, 2023
Submission Email: anjaly@commonroom.in
The best digital illustration will be featured in the Common Room marketing material for our upcoming course that draws inspiration from the British Boarding School Story genre. Your child’s artistic brilliance could be the star that lights up our promo materials! The winner will also have access to our curated set of digital creative writing resources.

Through Common Room, she wishes to inspire and nurture young minds by providing a platform to explore and develop their writing skills, foster creativity, and ignite a love for storytelling.
If your child has read the Harry Potter series, or any of Enid Blyton’s school story series such as The Naughtiest Girl, Malory Towers or St. Claire’s series, (s)he’ll know where to start. But in case (s)he is new to the genre, and would like to gather some more information before getting started, head over to my blog post on the British Boarding School Story genre for inspiration. Find it here.
Draw, doodle, and dazzle us with your child’s vision of boarding school life.
Email the masterpiece to anjaly@commonroom.in.
P.S: We are such suckers for the watercolour effect in digital illustrations- just giving you a heads up! 😀
And there you have it! The canvas is yours, the theme is set, and the glory awaits. So, parents, unleash the artistic prowess in your little ones and let’s turn their creative dreams into reality! 🌟✏️
