Cartoon Competition
Our 2025/2026 Jack Petchey Cartoon Competition is now OPEN! 🖌️
🎨 Every year the Jack Petchey Cartoon Competition asks young people from London and Essex to submit a motivational cartoon centred on a specific theme. The theme for 2025/2026 is “Dream Big”.
What does ‘Dream Big’ mean to you? What does it look like? What does it feel like? How does it impact your life? We want to see a positive interpretation of what this theme looks like to you. If you can put this into a cartoon and you wish to share it with thousands of other young people across London and Essex, enter our competition.
The details:
- To be eligible, entrants must be from a school or sixth form participating in the School Planners programme.
- Our Achiever Network will select the top ten winning entries and our YCP will select the top three winning entries.
- The winning entries will be displayed within our School Planners that go out to hundreds of schools across London and Essex next year.
- Please make sure your entry is entirely your own work and is not generated by AI, including the design and concept.
The prizes:
- The overall winner will receive £100 worth of vouchers
- Second place finisher will win £50 worth of vouchers
- Third place finisher will win £25 worth of vouchers
The deadline for entries is 5.00 p.m. Sunday 1st March 2026.
