• Strong visual and spatial skills
• Exceptional people skills
• Innovative problem-solving
• Entrepreneurial spirit

The competition is open to adults and children who are residents of Gibraltar. Participants may submit up to three original works.

There will be five categories as follows:

5. Gibraltar Theme

The Overall Winner will receive the Ministry of Culture prize of £500 and a trophy. Additionally, the winner in each category will receive a prize of £100 and a trophy.
