An invitation to everyone living, working and studying in the King’s Cross neighbourhood (Camden or Islington) to design a postcard portraying KING’S CROSS / ST PANCRAS – PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE

Cross Section Magazine and Communities in Focus are hosting the competition as part of ‘Arrivals ‘, an exciting events programme taking place in November to celebrate the opening of St Pancras International Station and the arrival of the Eurostar.

We are looking for high quality and imaginative entries in any 2D format i.e. photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, digital media, or cartoon.

Eight designs will be selected by a panel of arts professionals including the artist Richard Wentworth and the director of Camden Art Centre Jenni Lomax. These will then be reproduced as high quality postcards, presented together within a specially designed folder … yours could be one of them! 2,500 commemorative packs will be produced for distribution, and an exhibition displaying the eight winning designs alongside other selected artworks will take place during the ‘Arrivals’ event.

‘Arrivals’ is produced by Create KX in association with St Pancras International.
