Tate Britain and Creative Review are teaming up to mark the gallery’s new exhibition, The Vorticists: Manifesto for a Modern World.

The best work will be projected at the next #crtweetup, which takes place at Tate Britain on July 21, while our favourite ‘Blast’ and ‘Bless’ will be turned into a double-sided print that will be unveiled on the night.
