We're running a competition in conjunction with Tes as part of our What Makes You Smile? project.

All you have to do is make a picture of what makes you smile. You can use any art materials you like - pencils, crayons, paints, coloured pencils, felt tips, or you could even make a collage with coloured papers. If you need some inspiration, look at the world around you, or you can look at the illustrations that our artists have created.

The winner from each age category will receive:

• a selection of top quality art materials worth £150 to inspire a budding artist
• a copy of Tell Me A Picture by Quentin Blake
• Beautiful picture books worth £200 for their school library.

The winning entries will be displayed on The Children’s Bookshow website and social media and on the Tes website.

Two runners up for each category will each win a copy of Tell Me A Picture by Quentin Blake.

Age categories:

Key Stage 1
Key Stage 2

**Our judge** is the wonderful children’s books writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami. Jessica used to tell stories with puppets, but then decided to create picture books instead. Her illustrations are made of collages of brightly coloured paper and brilliantly bring to life some of the stories that people have been telling one another for hundreds of years.

Jessica's books always make us smile!

She is published by Frances Lincoln and Otter-Barry Books.
