THE Guardian Series is launching a very special competition to reward our best young artists.

We are giving away three family tickets for the Legoland® Windsor Resort to the winners of our fantastic painting and drawing competition in honour of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The contest is open to children aged between four and 11 and the winners of the three different age groups – as chosen by the public – will each receive one of the Legoland family tickets, which gives free entry to the theme park for two adults and two children.

The creator of the best piece overall piece of art, chosen by a panel of judges from the three category winners, will not only receive the ticket but will also see their picture used on the front cover of our special Diamond Jubilee supplement.

This special souvenir publication, out on May 31, will be a trip down memory lane, remembering Her Majesty’s special visits to our boroughs.

The three age groups are four to six, seven to eight and nine to 11.

All you have to do is paint or draw a picture of the Queen – it couldn’t be easier!
