Project Explore Competition

If you want to take part in this competition by Oxford University Press, you should finish the tale by creating your very own comic strip!



And then, in groups of 2-6 students you must create a 6-panel comic strip – you can either draw it, create it digitally, or even use photographs. Have a look at this sample entry to get inspiration!

If you are an artist, try drawing the comic yourself, but you can always use a digital application like Stripgenerator to make a 6-panel comic strip.

Prizes:
Each student in the winning group will receive a set of Oxford University Press stationery, an Oxford University Press dictionary of their choice, and two Oxford Graded readers of their choice. Their teacher will receive a set of Oxford University Press stationery, an Oxford University Press dictionary of their choice, a copy of the Project Explore poster game, three Oxford University Press Professional Development titles of their choice, and ten Oxford Graded readers of their choice.

There will also be three runner-up groups. Each student in these groups will receive a set of Oxford University Press stationery, and an Oxford Graded Reader of their choice. Their teachers will each receive a set of Oxford University Press stationery, a Project Explore poster game, an Oxford University Press Professional Development Title of their choice, and five Oxford Graded Readers of their choice.
