WOW BADGES 2025-26
Our WOW badges are designed by talented pupils across the UK!
Every year we host our WOW badge design competition and ask schools across the UK to submit their pupils’ designs. The winning designs then go on to be made into our WOW badges, which are given out every month to WOW schools.
All the badges are made from recycled plastic and are produced in Cornwall to help reduce Living Streets carbon footprint.
This year, we encouraged pupils to think about what makes them happy with the theme, ‘Walk with joy’. We received so many fantastic designs, it was very hard for our judges to settle on 11 winners. Keep scrolling to see this years winners.
