The Big Issue Christmas Kids Cover Competition

Every year we look for creative children to wow us with brilliantly bright, bold, colourful pictures that help Big Issue vendors sell more magazines during the hard winter months.
Hundreds of young people get out their pens, pencils, paints or graphic design software for the annual contest, making us covers to spread comfort and joy across Britain.
The competition is now open for 2023 and you have until 25 November to get your entries in! Visit our 2023 competition page for details on how to enter.
