Divine Designs: Art Competition and Exhibition

Source: The God Who Speaks

From cover to cover, we are celebrating the Bible. In 73 books - from Genesis to Revelation - the Bible is the greatest story ever told. Our passion is to bring each book alive through the medium of art in this unique competition and exhibition.

We invite artists, graphic designers and illustrators from across the UK to design a cover for any of the 73 books of the Bible. We want to celebrate creativity and innovation, and promote a greater visual awareness and understanding of the Bible today. We welcome multiple submissions (up to four), and all selected entries will create the final exhibition.

We offer seven cash prizes with an overall winner decided by our Panel of Judges.

A full colour catalogue of the 73 selected covers will be published.

The exhibition will run from 10th February to 9th April 2027 at St John's Waterloo, London.
