30 Days Wild T-shirt design competition

Calling all young WILD artists!

We want YOU to design a T-Shirt that celebrates the beauty and wonder of nature. From the tallest trees to the tiniest bugs, everything in nature has a story to tell.

Your design will want to inspire others to connect with nature, explore the outdoors, and protect our precious wildlife. Let your creativity bloom as you bring the magic of nature to life!

30 Days Wild is about embracing nature, boost your wellbeing and make a positive impact on our planet.  From puddle jumping, to feeding the birds in your garden, every action – big or small – helps you to connect with the natural world around you. Whether you love forests, oceans, mountains, or gardens, your design can help everyone see how amazing nature is and how important it is to take care of it. 

We want you to design a 30 Days Wild T-Shirt that represents nature connection.  

Nature connection is about our relationship with nature – how we think about, feel about, and experience nature. When we feel very close to nature, we recognise ourselves as part of the natural world, and value our relationship with it. We notice nature, seek it out, and feel happy when we are in it.
