'Wild Animals Belong in the Wild' - How do you feel about this statement? How would you feel if you were taken from your natural habitat, to a strange new place with no knowledge of why you were there or whether you would ever see your friends and family again? What does a caged animal think about to pass the endless lonely hours? What dreams fuel their commitment to survive?

In honour of World Wildlife Day World Animal Protection and myself are asking you to express your feelings/thoughts on this statement in a single image made by hand or illustrative digital software. This competition is open to residents in the UK, USA, Australia or Canada and there will be a Junior and Senior category. All entrants will be in with a chance to win a signed copy of 'Fantastic Beasts', but it is also a chance to express your appreciation for wild animals through art and have it shared on here smile emoticon Please be as creative as you like and don't feel inhibited by your level of artistic prowess or fear or doubt, we just want to see you EXPRESS yourself for animals. I personally cannot wait to see the entries!! The competition closes March 31st at 17:00 GMT so get moving! For more details on the competition, World Animal Protection and to submit your piece, go here: Wildlife artwork competition | World Animal Protection International

I'm sorry this competition isn't open to all territories, it is a big undertaking to organise but rest assured I will be collaborating on more competitions and campaigns with World Animal Protection in the near future and we will do our best to accommodate you!

Much love and happy crafting heart emoticon Evy xox
