Participants were invited to complete their designs using a downloadable template, while aspiring designers can then get on with drawing on their computer or drawing by hand.

Once complete, all entries must be submitted online while there is no restriction on the number of entries a person can make. To add to the fun, participants are encouraged to upload a video telling the story of their creations!
