To celebrate Three’s new ‘brand look’ we launched a creative competition today to find the hottest new illustrative talent in Ireland. There are fantastic prizes for the winners (€2k and an i-Phone 4 for the overall winner, and €500 for the 3 runners up) as well as the chance to have their work showcased in up-coming Three campaigns.

Three have already commissioned local Irish illustrators for forthcoming projects and would love to supplement this work with up-coming Irish design graduates and new illustrative professionals. We are also super chuffed that BRENB (Mr. Offset himself) is on board as judge and mentor to our young upstarts.

The competition is now open and entrants can up-load their work to www.three.ie/blankcanvas. All entrants work will be showcased on the site.

Winners will be announced in April and an appropriate soiree will be arranged, full details of which to follow!

Look out for a blank canvas in a bar or art college near you…
