More than 21,000 students participated in 2023, with artwork ranging from mysterious cats, Blu Tack blue whales and space parties, to gangster chickens, Christmas Day self-portraits and a sun-loving crocodile-dinosaur-bat. A panel of passionate artists and art professionals faced the challenging task of selecting 478 pieces from these submissions, which were showcased at the Royal Academy of Artists and are now available online to view. 

We love the work that the RA are doing with the next generation of artists, so had the pleasure of platforming a further 12 select artists across our large poster sites in the UK. The campaign was a heart-warming experience for BUILDHOLLYWOOD and friends and families of the artists, with many proud parents and grandparents reaching out to us to ask where they could view their loved ones’ art. 

The posters were posted across ten UK cities: London, Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow.
