Oooh just hear about the great idea for the 2012 Serco Prize, which is now open for admission. This year’s theme is SECRET LONDON. Entrants are asked to explore the hidden side to the city to find unusual aspects of the Capital’s history and culture, past or present. Open to illustrators around the world and with the chance to win £2000 I might just have a go myself. Nice way to remind yourself of all the great places the city has to offer. This would be great to do in other cities as well. Hey I may even try it for Tokyo…

The deadline for entries is 5.00pm on Friday 6 April 2012. Visit the Association of Illustrators (AOI) for more information.
