I've found a few more competitions that are more appropriate to my skills, media and context.

The Moving Parts animation competition suits what I want to do - I want to make puppets and have more 

experience of animation, plus the prize is tickets to the puppetry festival (which I am passionate about and

would like to attend) so this would be more beneficial to me than winning a design award that I'd have to 

pay £350 for.

The Penguin brief has been cut from my intended briefs because it has only made me feel stressed and strained.

I'm not skilled in designing covers and have little knowledge of graphic design so I worry that I would be 

competing against professionals in the field. It felt a little pointless when I didn't feel confident in my designs

or ideas to consider submitting them. I don't want to waste more time trying to come up with something

clever when I can be focussing on other briefs that are more appropriate to my interests and career prospects.

I also didn't really feel connected to any of the books so didn't have a strong desire to illustrate them.

The Carmelite prize is still a possible interest (since it is children's book illustration - my intended audience 

and professional illustration context I would like to go on to work in) but would be a lot of work to take on 

in a short space of time.
