The Judging Process

Choosing a winner from the wealth of artistic talent submitted to the Big Issue Kids Competition was no easy task. Our judging panel, comprised of experts in children's art and social commentary, used a rigorous selection process. The judging criteria focused on several key aspects of each submitted piece:

• Creativity and Originality: The judges looked for unique approaches and innovative ideas. How did the young artist express themselves in a new and compelling way?
• Artistic Skill: Technical skill, use of medium, and overall execution were carefully considered. Did the piece demonstrate a mastery of technique appropriate to the artist’s age?
• Impactful Message: The competition aims to promote social awareness. Judges assessed how effectively each piece conveyed a message or explored a relevant social theme.

Our esteemed panel of judges included:

• Ms. Anya Sharma: A renowned children's book illustrator with over 20 years of experience.
• Mr. David Chen: A celebrated art educator and curator specializing in contemporary art for young people.

They faced the challenging task of selecting a single winner from amongst hundreds of truly remarkable pieces of children's art. The selection process underscored the exceptional artistic merit displayed by all participants.
