Submitting entries

• We will begin to accept entries on 3 August 2009.
• There is a limit of eight entries per school. If your school covers more than one age group please try to represent an even spread. You could perhaps hold an internal competition to select the best doodles in the class or school.
• When you are ready to submit your entries, please return to the website to complete the online entry form. You will need to include the pupils' titles and supporting statements.
• You will be given a unique entry number, which you should write on the back of each doodle.
