Colour Your City

COLOUR YOUR CITY CAMPAIGN

In celebration of the launch of this industry-changing product, Winsor & Newton will connect artists and creative users around the world with its launch of Colour Your City (#ColourYourCity), an Instagram-driven campaign that invites artists, illustrators and creatives world-wide to submit work using the new Pigment Marker that are inspired by the global cities and destinations that influence their work and process.

The campaign will run November 16, 2015 through January 2016, and prompt artists to hashtag #ColourYourCity along with their work for it to be reviewed and considered by Winsor & Newton’s team of international brand ambassadors. The winning artwork will be displayed across Winsor & Newton Pigment Marker box sets and included in in a gallery exhibit in Paris in February 2016.

Winsor & Newton’s team of international brand ambassadors, who will take it in turns each week to become our contest judges, are to select a weekly finalist and the overall winner of the #ColourYourCity campaign. Judges include the following internationally renowned artists: William Broome, Mara Louise Cespon, Christopher Corr, Bil Donovan, Peter Millard, Katie Rodgers, Hayden Williams and Samuel Zealey.
