We have seen some fantastic pictures that our children have drawn to enter The Ickabog Illustration Competition.

J.K. Rowling is publishing an original story, The Ickabog (the “Story”), online (https://www.theickabog.com/read-the-story) in instalments over seven weeks, and is inviting children to help her by illustrating the Story.

A new instalment of the Story and illustration themes to go with it will be revealed daily, Monday to Friday, throughout the course of the seven weeks, so do stay tuned.

34 winning illustrations will be selected to bring the serialised story to the printed page when it is published in full, which is intended for November 2020.

Entries are open, and the competition will close at 6pm BST on Friday 17th July 2020.
