Pete shot to fame last year when he was commissioned by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher to paint a portrait of him, which was displayed on London's South Bank. His paintings often sell for four-figure sums.

The 42-year-old has been at the 888.com World Snooker Championship throughout the last week, drawing sketches in public areas and backstage.

His eight sketches tell the story of a day at the Crucible, including fans waiting outside the stage door, former world champions Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams practising together and Ronnie O'Sullivan doing a press conference.

"I feel really privileged to have been given backstage access to the Crucible, I've been a snooker fan for most of my life," revealed Pete.

"Snooker is a big part of Sheffield, it all brings together a big gathering of Sheffield people. It's nice to have been able to catch the human side of the game - and many different moments which the public don't get to see.

"I've stripped my sketches down to the bare minimum, but hopefully they tell their own story."

Now Pete is giving you the chance to win the completed version of one of these sketches - to be presented in the Crucible arena ahead of this year's final.

To enter, pick your favourite sketch and send your choice by e-mail to competitions@
