Our supporters make Big Issue’s work possible. Join us to see the impact we’re having together and discover more ways to help people facing poverty access income, opportunity and support.
The competition is open to anybody up to the age of 13. There will be an individual winner who will see their design on the cover, plus special recognition for the best group entry. There is no limit to the number of entries from a group but please note we are unable to return artworks, though we will print as many as we can fit on our pages!
Send all entries with a name, age, address and telephone or email contact to us by 11 March.
