About the BadgesThere are six different Blue Peter badges that you can win:

Blue badges are awarded for interesting letters or emails, stories, poems, really good ideas for the programme, pictures and for having appeared on the programme. They are not awarded for taking part in Blue Peter Appeals.

Silver badges are awarded for doing something different from your Blue badge project. For instance, if you won a Blue badge for an interesting letter or email, you could then win a Silver badge by sending us a picture, or a poem.

Green badges are awarded for letters and pictures that are about the environment, conservation or nature.

Orange badges are for winners and runners up of Blue Peter competitions. To win one of these badges you will have to enter a Blue Peter competition.

Purple badges are only for children who have been selected to be Blue Peter Team Players. To win a purple badge you must review an episode of Blue Peter. Print off the Purple Badge Form, fill it in and send it to the address on the right hand side of this page for your chance to be a team player.

Gold badges are very rare, and only awarded for really outstanding achievements - for instance, saving someone's life or extreme bravery and courage.
