Welcome, young artists, seers, and accidental clairvoyants.

In this challenge, you shan’t rely on your wands, textbooks, or the ability to actually see the image you must recreate. This is a test of telepathy, memory magic, and your Inner Eye.

Rules and Regulations:

  • Participants shall work in pairs: The Seer-blessed with a brief glimpse of the reference image. The Artist- armed only with ink, parchment, and confusion.
  • The Seer shall have 3 minutes to study the image.
  • Then, using only spoken language (no gestures, pointing, miming, Legilimency), The Seer must describe the image to The Artist. The Artist shall have 90 minutes to recreate the reference image based purely on their partner’s words.
  • Roles are not interchangeable.
  • In the end, the original vision and the final artwork shall be compared, and judged. The painting that most closely resembles the reference image wins.
  • Participants must bring theirown painting materials (paints, brushes, palettes etc.).
  • The reference image will be revealed only during the event.
  • Judges’ decisions are final and binding.
  • Judging Criteria:
