Youth Scotland Members' Challenge

Holiday Card Design

The festive season is around the corner and we’ve got the perfect way to celebrate…another round of the Youth Scotland Members’ Challenge! 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.

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 for Youth Scotland’s annual holiday card.
2.  You can use pens, pencils or any other crafting supplies you like to create your design.
3. You can design your card on any size paper that you like, as long as it is standard and rectangular.

How can I enter?

Submit your entry by taking a clear, close-up photo of your design and posting it on Facebook,  Twitter/X or Instagram with #YSMembersChallenge and tagging Youth Scotland (only one submission per team).

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 and their design will be used as this year’s official Youth Scotland holiday card
