Illustration Friday
http://illustrationfriday.com/topic/imagination/
I like this one, because I find it's premise both familiar and interesting. In amateur art circles I've been in do a similar thing, where certain groups would have a week, annually, and would create art for a different prompt each day. I had never taken part in one myself, except for a large one themed towards cats, so I think I'd like to give this one a go.
Cheltenham Illustration Awards

This is also interesting. I have been told that it has much more focus on narrative, telling a story through the drawing, which is something that I am very interested in. I love narratives, wherever and whatever medium they may have came from. Stories are my thing. The problem with this competition, though, is that it involves sending things in the post, which I have a lot of trouble with.

I'm sure I remember someone around me taking part in this, a science teacher or someone. I am interested in this also because I have a habit of making up full stories to go behind my drawings, and this encourages that. I also find it interesting because it seems more geared towards a real thing, illustrating children's book. I've said in the past that I really don't mind what career path I take, as long as I can tell stories, I even write stories as a hobby.
Student Awards

This is a competition with much more specific briefs, pertaining to actual companies. This is another one that takes a less artistic approach, with realistic briefs that a freelance illustrator, designer or animator would be likely to get more than once.
