SCOLIOSIS BOOK – Free Competition

Submission Guidelines and Tips

DEADLINE for submissions: At the moment we are accepting entries.
Once we have set a final deadline for entries, we will publish it on this website and our Facebook page.

Artwork

  • Please email a photo or scan of your art to us, along with details of its size and type (watercolour, pen & ink, digital art, cartoon, sculpture, photography etc.)
  • If possible, the finished size should be suitable for mailing to us, if it reaches our shortlist
  • The art should represent your personal interpretation of scoliosis. Perhaps it will depict the actual condition and living with its effects; or spines and backs; or abstract designs of twists, bends, curves. The choice is yours.

Stories

Make notes first. Think about what you want to say, and what you need to include. We want to hear happy stories too, not just problems and bare medical facts.
