11-year-old's art shown in cinemas before Wicked: For Good

Maidah, who has black hair in a ponytail and wears her grey school uniform jacket and tie, holds up her winning artwork in an art classroom. It shows the backs of Elphaba and Glinda holding hands as they look on to the Emerald City, which has green towers and structures and hills sloping down on both sides. Two hot air balloons - one pink and the other green - glide above through a pinky-orange sunset.

If you've been to see Wicked: For Good at the cinema, you'll probably have spotted some Galinda-fied artwork shown just before the film started.

It was drawn by 11-year-old Maidah from Liverpool who won a competition run by the British Board of Film Classification.

When she saw it on the big screen for the first time at the UK premiere she said:

"I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach and everyone was cheering and clapping.

"It made me really happy on the inside."

Maidah used water-based paint, acrylic pens and colouring pencils to create her winning artwork

Before every film at the cinema, you'll see the ratings card by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).

They're the people that decide who a film is suitable for and give them ratings like U, PG and 12A.

Maidah's artwork was one of over 700 entries in a competition run by the BBFC to illustrate the ratings card.

She was revealed as the winner in a special clip from the film's actors Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey and Michelle Yeoh.

Jade Miller and Maidah smile as they sit next to each other drawing on paper at a classroom table. Coloured pencils and a scrapbook of drawings are on the table with various colourful artworks stuck up on the wall behind.

Maidah and her classmates were encouraged to enter the competition by their art teacher.

She used a mixture of water-based paint, acrylic pens and colouring pencils to create her masterpiece.

"I wanted to bring Oz to life by adding a lot of popping and bright colours and using main elements from the movie such as the Emerald City, the hot air balloons and characters," she said.

The film's director Jon M. Chu was impressed, saying: "You can tell how much dedication and creativity has gone into this artwork."
