M&S YoungMinds 'Design-a-Hoodie' Competition
YoungMinds and M&S are inviting young people to enter their brand-new design competition! Young people aged 5 - 16 are asked to create a design for a new hoodie or sweatshirt – with the chance to have their design sold in M&S stores and online later this year.
All profits from the sales will support YoungMinds to help them keep fighting for young people’s mental health. As well as having their design sold at M&S, the winning young person will receive:
- An invite with their parent or carer to visit M&S’s London support centre and see their design transformed into artwork, or to tour the supplier factory in the Midlands and watch them be printed.
- The opportunity to participate in the product launch this September.
- Sweatshirts or hoodies for their whole class to wear for Hello Yellow on 10th October.
To take part, young people have been asked to create a design for either a hoodie or a sweatshirt inspired by what they would say to a friend who needs them. Designs must be submitted by 11.59pm on Monday 31st March.
Your child will be bringing their design (or a template) home in the next few days and if you would like to enter them into the competition, please follow the instructions on the sheet.
