Bishop’s Badge Competition
Find your design inspiration here!
Bishop Sophie has invited you to design a beautiful badge for her - and other Christians - to wear over Halloween this year, for Wear Your Faith Fortnight.
What should I draw?
We’d love to see you bring your ideas to life about God, Jesus and love. Scroll down the page for free videos and apps to inspire you.
You might want to design a badge that shows:
What God’s love looks like to you
A story about Jesus that you love
Anything else that shows how you feel about faith.
Design tips
Keep your design simple: one big idea instead of lots of little ones
Use no more than three different colours.
Deadline
Hand in your completed design to your teacher, leader or parent by 26 June: they need to post it to the Diocese of Sheffield by 28 June.
For more information about the competition and how to enter, visit the guidance page for leaders.
