Do you have a piece of Game of Thrones fan art that you’ve always wanted to share with the world? Would you like the chance to see that art in a Pop Up Art Gallery in London? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then HBO UK may have the perfect solution for you. As part of the rollout for the Game of Thrones Season 6 home video boxset (out on November 14 and available now on Digital HD), HBO UK is hosting the Game of Thrones Fan Art Competition. Winners will have their art displayed in an exhibition, next to work by professional artists like Graffiti Kings.
Artists can submit their work now through the HBO UK website. The exhibition itself will be held in London’s historic Shoreditch district, and will run from November 10 through November 13. According to the rules, artists are not limited to just drawings or paintings. HBO will accept graphic designs, sculptures, and even embroidery. Quoth the press release: “Fans can enter any form of artistic expression” inspired by Game of Thrones Season 6. Fans have already submitted several pieces, and you can vote for your favorites on the site. Here’re a few samples:

From the press release:
The Game of Thrones Pop Up Art Gallery will be open to the public for four days with free entry and will display a wide range of artistic expression from talented fans and working artists who have contributed one-off pieces they have created, inspired by Season 6 of the show.
Entries will be accepted until October 6, 2016. At that point, a “surprise judge from the show” will choose 10 winners. Those pieces will be displayed alongside art from that special surprise someone at the gallery. (Venue details to follow.)
This is a fun way for HBO to involve the fan community. Get art-ing.
