Badge design competition 2019
NOW OPEN!
READY TO GET CREATIVE?
Our annual badge design competition gives pupils the chance to design the 11 WOW badges. Last year, we had over 120,000 entries making it one of the biggest design competitions for children in the UK. This year we want even more wonderful, creative designs to choose from!
WOW is Living Streets’ year-round walk to school challenge. Pupils log their daily journeys to school each day on the WOW Travel Tracker. Those that walk to school at least once a week for a month earn a WOW badge. There are 11 to collect across the year - it’s as easy as that.
THEME
INVENTIONS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
From September 2019, we want to take WOW pupils on a year-round journey through time and across the globe, celebrating some of the greatest inventions ever created.
We are looking for engaging, fun, colourful depictions of inventions that changed the world! Ideally the designs will show their chosen inventions in use – so encourage the pupils to get creative and think outside the box!
Diversity is key, so pupils should be encouraged to recognise the inventions of lesser-celebrated people, including people of colour and women inventors.
PRIZES
BECOME A FEATURED BADGE DESIGNER
The 11 winning designs will be turned into more than 400,000 badges, made from recycled yoghurt-pot material, and will feature across the 2019/20 WOW challenge.
The winners will also receive:
- WOW resources for the school
- Winner’s Trophy
- School gate banner
- Bespoke press release from Living Streets
If your school is funded through a Living Streets project prizes will vary, please see full list of prizes in the T&Cs document below.
