Schools are being invited to join an Olympic sail art contest, supported by the Campaign for Drawing, which has Bradford-born David Hockney as one of its patrons.

The competition gives youngsters from eight to 17 the chance to design a 30-foot mainsail for a boat to be raced by Sir Ben Ainslie, Iain Percy OBE and other Olympic sailors.

Prizes include a day sailing with the Olympians, art materials and an invitation to the London Boat Show in January 2014.

The closing date is 2pm on Friday, November 29. For full competition details visit fineartsails.com.
