Calling creative
people everywhere…​

Enter our competition​ below for the chance to win a cash prize and see your ideas ​on a Hallmark card​

Are you a designer, illustrator, photographer or writer?

We’re launching our new competition ‘Inspired’ and we want you to be a part of it!

We believe that everyone has an idea for a greeting card and this is your chance to share that idea, get paid for it and have it published on an actual greeting card (with a little bit about you on the back of it!).

’Caring connections’ is the theme of the competition, so think about images and words that show support, bring joy or share kindness.

Everybody is welcome to enter and we can’t wait to see what you create… good luck!
