What is the prize?
The winning drawing will be realised on the scaffolding sheeting covering the White Tower during the first year of its conservation (2008).
The Prince's Drawing School is also offering the winner classes at the Drawing School worth £200. Courses include daytime or evening drawing in the studio at Charlotte Road, Shoreditch, as well as classes held in the streets and parks, and in Museums and Galleries across London. The prize is for 10 daytime or evening classes to be taken in the Spring, Summer or Autumn 2008 Term. (If the winner is unable to take up this element of the prize, an alternative will be offered).

The White Tower conservation project
From January 2008 until November 2010, we plan to clean, repair and conserve the north, east and west external elevations of the White Tower and carry out repairs to the lead on the main roof and turrets.
