Anthony Browne's shape-game winners

Back in July, we asked readers to take part in Anthony Browne's Shape Game competition – improvising a new picture from a set shape printed in the Observer Magazine – to be judged by the children's laureate. We were overwhelmed with hundreds of entries from people of varying ages and abilities, but we are pleased to announce that the winner of the one-off Quentin Blake drawing is Holly Garside, aged four, from the West Midlands. "It was an extremely difficult to judge an overall winner and I was very impressed with the standard of all the artwork," explains Browne. "Some pictures were obviously created by artists and illustrators who had spent many careful hours creating their compositions. Some adults probably hadn't drawn since their childhood but managed to produce brilliantly expressive drawings. And then there were the children. I chose Holly Garside's Pelican because it's beautiful, and because it seems to epitomise everything that I love about the creativity that we all possess, but most of us lose." The auction of drawings by celebrities, including Sir Peter Blake, Emma Thompson and Harry Hill, raised £11,500 for the Rainbow Trust charity .
