MATS Manifesto competition – Winners Announced!
We receive so many wonderful comments about ‘Make Art That Sells‘, that we challenged our amazing alumni to submit their own MATS Manifesto. We had 161 entries and were absolutely delighted (but not surprised!) by the staggering level of submissions for the Manifesto competition.
Lilla was very impressed with all the entries and announced an overall winner, PLUS 4 honorable mentions. The winner gets a free place on our wonderful new MATS course launching later this year. Our runners up all win a free entry into the 2015 Global Talent Search.
