Bringing art and science together is fun. The Elemons project is looking for students from UK primary and secondary schools to submit their versions of what an element of the periodic table might look like.

Participate through your schools and submit your ideas to win.

What you need to do:

1. Draw what you think an element from the Periodic Table would look like as a character with a personality. From gloomy to fun and exciting. You choose.
2. Tell us why you chose this look. Hint: Research the element. Example: Is it toxic (dangerous) or inert (friendly). You decide. Make it colourful and consider what happens to it colours when it burns in various different gases like oxygen.
3. Name your creature. The ending of the name must include the suffix ‘-mon’.

Winning submissions will be transformed into a character card with your name as owner of the image.

Here’s one illustrated by Josh for the STATE MODE Battle Game:

Our reason: Helium is a light gas which makes us high pitched if we breath it in. So we decided on a round figured character with a fun personality that reflects what we think helium would look like as an Elemon. We named him Helimon.

Inside every Starter Deck is a Helimon collectible character card (along with Natrimon and Oxymon!):

The winners will get their illustration converted into a character card within the STATE MODE battle game. Your name will be a collectable card within our packs. There are 101 elements that need to come to life. Can you help?

The winners’ entire class will receive both the first book in the Elemons Quest series as well as a Starter Deck each! Including your teacher. All signed and delivered to your school.

Begin this adventure by submitting your illustrations onto the Elemons twitter handle #elemonsgame.

Deadline is June 1 2016.  Further information will be released soon….

Judges will be announced too. If you are a teacher and would like to be a judge please tweet us @elemons1000.

Good luck!
