**************
Together MAKE IT IN DESIGN and BLUE PRINT are bringing you a competition, giving you the chance to win some exciting prizes :
Calling all up and coming Surface Print Designers !
There are prizes to be won at Make It In Design and the next Blue Print Online Event ! This is a competition open to all individual artists to design an exciting Bee and Floral Print to raise the profile of our bees and yourself worldwide ! You might think of bees and honey, but that’s not the only thing they give us. We all need food to survive, and without bees to pollinate crops the world over, we wouldn’t have much food at all !
Along with many other insects bees numbers have been drastically declining, and in the UK a third of our bees have disappeared over the past ten years. In Europe many species are close to extinction, mainly due to modern farming methods, loss of habitats, pesticides and other chemicals.
So let’s help raise the awareness of the plight of our buzzy bees !
