Prize: First prize £1000, Second Prize £750, Third Prize £500. All three winners will be considered for work experience at Pentland headquarters in London.

Capture the essence of Churchill’s unique style and personality, and present it for a modern audience. You can create the work in any media as long as it can be submitted to and viewed on the ARTS THREAD site – from fine art and photography to illustration and graphic design.

The judging panel will create a shortlist of entries and contact the finalists to arrange personal presentations of their original designs. Shortlisted finalists will have their work exhibited and voted by an external panel of judges, patrons and members of the Churchill Centre. A selection of the works will be shown, either by online publication or as an exhibition of the originals or both.

The top three winning entries will be able to attend the prestigious annual Sir Winston Churchill Dinner held in London in Autumn of 2014.
