Budding Picassos are being encouraged to draw portraits of their mothers as part of a Mother’s Day competition.

The Spires Shopping Centre, in High Street, Barnet, is welcoming all portraits, be they paintings, drawings, colourings or collages.

The organisers have sent entry forms to more than 30 schools and will choose two winners from the entries they receive – one in the age category seven to nine, the other in age category ten to 12.

The winners will receive a prize for themselves, and one for their mother, as well as seeing their portrait framed.

Entry forms can be collected from the centre's management office, or downloaded from their website.

The closing date for entries is February 22.
