Youth Scotland Members' Challenge

Christmas Card Design

Festive season is just around the corner and we want to see what your young people can make for a Christmas card! As always, this series of friendly competitions is open to young people from across our member groups and we’ve got some exciting prizes (not to mention bragging rights) on the line. This time the winner will be Youth Scotland’s official electronic Christmas card, so your design will be shared with some of our partners and special people.

What are the rules?

1. Young people (up to 26 years old) should work by themselves or in a team to create an original design.
2. You can use pens, pencils or any other crafting supplies you like to create your design.
3. You can design your card in any size that you like

*Please take a photo of each card on your entry on a flat surface and from above. This will help us make it digital to share with everyone, since the winner will be Youth Scotland’s official digital Christmas card.

How can I enter?

Submit your entry by taking a clear, close-up photo of your design and posting it on Facebook, Instagram or Bluesky with #YSMembersChallenge and tagging Youth Scotland.

How many entries can you submit?  

We have received several enquiries about how many entries can be submitted per group. There are two options here: 

• A member group can decide to create a group Christmas card where young people work in a team to create one card. In this case the card created in a group will count as ONE entry 

OR

• Each young person can create an individual card. In this case, every individual card will count as ONE entry 

Both options are equally valid!  

What could I win?

The competition will be judged based on design and creativity.

• The first-place winner will receive a £50 voucher of their choice
• The second-place winner will receive a £30 voucher of their choice
• The third-place winner will receive a £20 voucher of their choice

Submissions for the Christmas Card Design challenge close at midnight 10 December 2025. Winners will be notified by email on or before 15 December 2025.
