Over a hundred of you proved you could! Experts at the Jorvik Viking Centre have picked the six top designs.

BBC North Yorkshire and the Jorvik Viking Centre invited budding artists from across the county to design a Viking shield.

The designs came flooding in and after much deliberation, Viking experts at the Jorvik Centre in York chose six winning designs.
