Isabel Carmona - on Instagram @isacarand

In 2022 we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Urban Sketchers London. To mark the occasion we're publishing a book of sketches that show London 'one drawing at a time'.


What's the deadline?

We're accepting submissions until midnight (GMT) of 22 January 2022.

Who can submit?

We welcome submissions from any sketcher in the UK or abroad who has drawn London on location in a way that meets the criteria of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto.



How do sketchers submit their artwork?

To submit your sketches, use the Google Form below.
You will of course need to agree to our terms and conditions, which we have set out below.

What are we looking for?

We want to see a variety of sketches that tell a story of London. Not only the most well known parts, but also landmarks, places, people, and cultural or political events that tell a story about London over the last 10 years.
 
We also want to know the story behind your sketch, in your words, in 300 characters or less (NB: each space counts as a character).

What do we mean by a story?

A story is essentially a caption for your sketch.
