Design a Sketchbook Competition

Inc Productions invites artists, designers, illustrators, and creative practitioners to submit artwork for their Sketchbook Cover Competition — and it's completely free to enter.

You're invited to create an original artwork designed for a sketchbook cover and submit a print-ready file. A panel of industry experts will review all entries, with one winning design receiving a $500 print voucher redeemable against any of Inc's print services — from artist books and publications to exhibition collateral and bespoke print projects.

As a bonus, all entrants (regardless of the judging outcome) have the option to order printed copies of their own personalised sketchbook featuring their submitted artwork on the cover. This is an optional paid service, available to anyone who enters.

Entrants must be aged 18 or over. All submitted work must be original, and copyright remains with the artist. Submitted files will only be used for competition administration, judging, and promotion.

Full artwork specifications, terms and conditions, and the submission form are all available online. Entries close 31 July 2026.

Inc Productions has over 30 years of experience in print production, working with artists, publishers, and cultural organisations across Aotearoa and internationally to bring creative ideas into beautifully made physical objects.
