A national creative doodle competition for children has been launched by glass artists.

Allister Malcolm Glass, in partnership with Stourbridge Glass Museum and generously supported by The Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers, have launched a doodle competition with an "Under the Sea" theme.

Children are encouraged to create a doodle of their favourite undersea creature using any non-digital media, including pencil, paint, crayons or pens.

Aimed not only at fostering budding creative talent, the competition also aims to introduce the possibilities of glass as an artistic material.

The museum is set to host creative craft sessions, which help children develop their entries, exploring underwater themes, sea creatures, colour and pattern.

The competition is open to all school-age children, with cash prizes going to the winning schools.

The top three winning designs will be transformed into unique glass artworks by Mr Malcolm’s team live at the museum as part of an upcoming Celebration of Glass Festival on August 22.

Winning and shortlisted entries will also be displayed at Stourbridge Glass Museum before the final artworks are presented to the winning schools.

Entries must be submitted by 5pm on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

Submissions, alongside further competition information, can be found at: stourbridgeglassmuseum.org.uk.
