Artwork competition invitation

Artwork competition

The University of Otago would like to invite students, staff, alumni and Otago residents to submit original artwork for inclusion in a University colouring-in book (see the example drawn by local artist Ruth Young).

The book is being created as part of the University’s 150th anniversary celebrations and ties in with a study undertaken by the University of Otago Department of Psychology last year that found colouring-in may improve adult mental health.

Entries close on 22 March 2019.
