Custom portraits by Gaia Cornwall. Illustrations courtesy of Gaia Cornwall.

Laughing, peeking, thoughtful, cheeky – kid’s faces are illustrator Gaia Cornwall’s favorite things to draw. We’re delighted to invite our LMNOP readers to take advantage of her amazing skills with a festive Holiday Issue competition.

Simply send in your child’s photo (a portrait style is best), together with their dearest (or craziest) Christmas wish in 25 words or less. We’ll select the best five entries to be illustrated by Gaia herself and they will appear in a special feature in our bumper Holiday Issue.

What’s more, the winners will receive a print of their illustrations as a Christmas gift from us!

HOW TO ENTER

Email us your lmnop-ette’s photo, together with a “Dear Santa” letter not more than 25 words, detailing their most fantastic Christmas wish.

A robot that plays football? A trip to the moon? Real fairy wings? We can’t promise to fulfil their dreams, but you could receive a delightful illustration of their imagination in full flight from the talented Gaia Cornwall.

Send your photo, letter and child’s age, together with full address details to: competition@lmnop.com.au

You’ve got till Friday, 29 October, 2010 to get your entries in. Good luck everyone!
