2024 Artwork Competition - Deadline Extended to 31st May 2024

We are currently writing the 2024 version of the It’s Not Fair science book and we would like to announce an exciting competition for the children in your schools. This would be an ideal activity for your school science week, science club, art club, or an art and design classroom project.

This competition is open to all primary school aged children. 

The task is for the children to create a piece of art that epitomise one of the five enquiry types:

  • Observation Over Time

  • Identification and Classification

  • Pattern Seeking

  • Comparative and Fair Testing

  • Research

Entries will be selected based on quality of artistic composition, overall design based on the theme, originality and clarity of depiction of an enquiry type.
