Blue Peter - Blue Peter Competitions

Blue Peter has teamed up with the iconic Glastonbury Festival to offer one lucky viewer the chance to design a brilliant costume to lead the Kidzfield Sunday Parade, PLUS we’re throwing in tickets for you to be at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, how cool is that!

You’ll get to see your winning costume in all its glory, as well as experience some exciting “behind the scenes” action at the legendary Festival.

The top 30 designs will also receive the Orange Blue Peter competition badge.

All prizes are subject to Covid-19 restrictions at the time of the Festival.

You can read the Blue Peter Glastonbury Festival Privacy Notice for kids here.

We want your entry to be the best it can be, so here are some tips to think about before you get started:

Be creative, be original and answer all the questions carefully with as much detail as you can about your design, your theme and the recycled materials you would use.

DO

• Make your parade costume design stand out.
• Your costume needs to be large enough to fit an adult and to be seen by the crowds at Glastonbury Festival's Kidzfield Parade.
• It needs to be waterproof - the parade could happen in sunshine or rain.
• The parade costume should be designed to allow the wearer to walk easily and should finish above the knee.
• Tell us about the recycled elements that make up your costume at every stage of its design.
• Think about a theme that will inspire the audience – does your parade costume tell a story or make a statement about the world today? Does it have a wildlife, art, magic, or environmental theme? You may use the Blue Peter ship in your design should you wish, but this will not be a deciding factor in the judging process.
• Your design must be original, and you must explain the recycled elements to be used in its creation, in your own words or captions.

DON’T

• Do not use pre-existing characters, brand names or other third-party ideas – do not copy a character costume or use an existing design. This must be your original work.
• Do not make it full length – the costume must stop at or above knee level.
• Do not use plastic bottles in your design – plastic bottles are not allowed at Glastonbury Festival.
• The design must also be age appropriate to Blue Peter.

Click here to enter the competition! You’ll be asked to submit your design, tell us about it and why you would like to go to Glastonbury Festival. Remember to take a clear photograph of your design and answer all of the questions in full. We may need to contact you to get a clearer photo of your design, so please keep the original artwork safe until 2nd July 2022. Make sure to grab a parent or guardian to help you upload your design, as they’ll need to give us some details and their permission too.

Please make sure your parent/guardian has read and agreed to the Blue Peter Glastonbury Festival Competition Rules and BBC Terms of Use. Please make sure they have also read the Blue Peter Glastonbury Festival Competition Privacy Notice.

Remember, if a sibling would like to enter the competition too, you'll need to have individual accounts to upload your entries.
