The Guardian is hosting a competition for the best new talent in illustration. The prize is an £8,000 commission to create the look and feel for our presence at Glastonbury festival’s 50th anniversary in 2020.
Your work will be judged by a panel of top creative professionals. The top 10 entrants will be featured on theguardian.com. As well as the commission, the winner will also receive a large framed print of their artwork by our print partner, RoomFifty.
Since 1997, the Guardian has been Glastonbury’s media partner. From reporting the length and breadth of the festival, to selling the newspaper on site, it’s one of our biggest brand partnerships.
