How to Win a Coloring Contest

When you enter a colouring competition, you need to make sure you stand out from the crowd. That is the way to get the judges to pick your entry. You want to add something to the picture. Do not just send in the original picture with some colours on it. That is boring.

Here are some suggestions:

• If there are no clouds in the sky, add some.
• Add birds, or an aeroplane, or a hot air balloon in the sky.
• Add extra details to clothes – for example add flowers to a plain dress.
• Use just a little bit of glitter – perhaps add a glittery necklace, or add some around the hem of a dress or sleeves, or add some sparkle to shoes.
• If the picture to be coloured has no border, draw one.
• If you can, make the border relate to the picture – for example, if the picture has trees in it, stick some real dried leaves around the picture to make the border.
• The neatness of your colouring really does matter.
