The theme for issue one is Hope

Simply, we’re looking for artwork which is representative of hope in some way! That could include:

• a picture of someone or something that you find hope in

• an illustration of your favourite movie scene that shows an example of hope

• a six-panel comic book guide on everyday ways to live with hope (i.e. planting seeds and nurturing a garden or the simple act of recycling in a bid to save the planet)

• a doodle of a local spot or business that you think inspires hope in people!

1. Please make sure the image you send to us is clear and of a high quality

2 Images can be any size / dimensions but the bigger the better!

3. If your work is digital (either scanned in or drawn digitally) then please set the resolution to 300DPI (dots per inch)

4. If scanning your image, you’ll need to make sure your scanner setting is manually set to 300DPI (it defaults at 72dpi which is too low!)
