Call for submissions: Urban Sketchers London logo competition

 

Put your illustration skills into action to design a unique and timeless logo for Urban Sketchers London and win a great prize!

What's the deadline?

We're accepting submissions until midnight (GMT) on 25 February 2022.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a unique and timeless design which will represent Urban Sketchers London as a community. The winning design will be unveiled at the 10-year celebrations event in London in July, and will become the official USk London logo thereafter. 

Who can submit?

We welcome submissions from anyone who can capture the USk London ethos in a logo. 

The design should adhere to the parameters specified in the official Urban Sketchers Logo Identity Guide. Please ensure you have read and understood these guidelines before you plan your design.

The logo should:

• represent London and the USk London community
• be clear, even as a small-scale icon
• be in black and/or grey
• fit an area of 5:13 ratio.

Here are a few examples from the Urban Sketchers Logo Identity Guide that you will need to keep in mind:

How to submit designs: 

• Complete and submit the Google Form with your design attached.
• Please submit only one design per person. 
• The design can be submitted as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG) or as an image file (JPG, PNG). If possible, please submit the design in both vector and image formats. 

How do we select the best design? 

1. A judging panel which consists of USk London admins will shortlist three designs from anonymised submissions (the judges' decision is final). 
2. The three shortlisted designs will then be open for public vote.  
3. The design which attracts the most votes will win the competition.   
4. We will contact the winner once voting closes, and work with them to edit (if required, and within the design parameters) and/or convert the design to its final usable format.

What are we offering the winner?

The winner will receive a cash prize of £100 and a set of handmade brushes from Rosemary & Co.
