Christmas Card Competition 2018

Design a Christmas card for Beat SCAD!

The Beat SCAD team is inviting entries to our Christmas card competition. We welcome entries from:

• Children up to the age of 14. • Adults and children over 15 - SCAD patients, families, friends and anyone else who would like to

support our charity. Your designs can be a photo, hand drawn or computer generated and can be in colour or black and white and must be in two dimensions. We’d like the designs to be festive and you are welcome to include references to spontaneous coronary artery dissection and/or hearts. You can choose one of three sizes – A6 landscape, A6 portrait or Square (see templates). Important parts of the design must fit into the SAFE AREA measurements identified on the templates. If you would like the design to bleed off the cards (rather than have a white border), please make sure you include enough of the background design so it extends to the BLEED measurements on these templates. Up to four winning designs will be chosen and printed on Christmas cards sold by Beat SCAD to raise money to continue raising awareness, supporting SCAD patients, families and friends and furthering research into this condition. The winners of the Children’s Competition will receive Hobbycraft vouchers to the value of £30 plus two free packs of cards printed with their design. The winners of the Over-15s and Adults’ Competition, in addition to seeing their design on the front of the Christmas cards, will receive one item of their choice of Beat SCAD clothing and two free packs of cards printed with their design. All proceeds from the sale of the Christmas cards go to Beat SCAD. Closing date: 11 September 2018 How to enter Download and fill in the entry form https://bit.ly/2KUmbXZ, then return the form to Beat SCAD with your entry.
