It’s Competition Time!

When Ona was creating the illustrations for ‘The Paper Butterfly’, a few pictures didn’t make it into the book itself because of layout restrictions. She is releasing two of these outlines to you, each with an accompanying short quote from the book for a colouring/painting competition!

1. The competition is open to any age group from as young as 3 to 100+ and entries will be accepted from anywhere in the world.

2. Select your favourite outline from the two images below and either print it out and colour it with pencils or crayons or trace it onto watercolour paper and use watercolours to paint it.

3. Email a photo or scan of your finished image to ona@onak.ca

4. Winners will be notified by November 15th and their images will be included on this website.
