Show Us Your Creativity!

Gordon Harris Schools Direct and STAEDTLER New Zealand invite artists of all ages to enter the STAEDTLER Artist of the Year Competition, supported by Hahnemühle!

Whether you love drawing, painting, sketching or colouring, this is your chance to showcase your creativity and be in to win fantastic prizes, including STAEDTLER and Hahnemühle goody bags.

There are two entry categories:

• Young Artists: 5–11 years
• Artists: 12+ years

How to enter

Create an original artwork using at least one STAEDTLER product. You can use anything from their range of pencils, pens, markers and other art materials, and your artwork can be newly created or something you've made previously.

Your artwork must be created on paper or canvas using traditional art materials. Digital artwork will not be accepted.

Once your artwork is ready, simply take a photo of it alongside the STAEDTLER product you used and upload it using the entry form below.

Entries close 8 November 2026.

Get creative, have fun and show us what you can do!
