How to enter the competition

We're not asking you to be the world's best writer, your generation's creative prodigy, nor do you need to try to make yourself someone you're not. It's the idea that matters most.

All you need to do, is think of yourself as a brand and sell yourself to us. What are your best bits (or USP – unique selling point in marketing speak)? Why should we buy into you? What have you got to offer?

And here's the clever bit – you've got just one area of A4 in which to do this.

You can use words, images, photos, whatever you think it takes to get the message across


Think in terms of marketing

For example, you may wish to draft out an advertisement like you'd see in a magazine or newspaper, or you may choose to show a mailing pack, write a letter, or even create your own TV or radio script. There's hundreds of ways to get your message across.

It's entirely up to you how you do it, but keep in mind that you are a BRAND and get yourself noticed. Sell yourself like never before. Be innovative, be creative, be yourself!
