Blue Peter contest to pick Queen's diamond jubilee logo


Emblems for the Queen's silver and golden jubilees were designed by professionals


Blue Peter viewers will be set the task of designing the official emblem for the Queen's diamond jubilee in 2012.
Children aged between six and 14 are being invited to take part in the UK-wide competition, with the winner to be announced in February 2011.
The chosen logo will feature on items ranging from crockery to London buses to mark 60 years of the Queen's reign.
Previous emblems for her silver jubilee in 1977 and golden jubilee in 2002 were created by professionals.


Judging panel

The emblem design will be chosen from the winners of three age categories - six to eight-year-olds, nine to 11-year-olds and 12 to 14-year-olds.
Entries cannot feature an image of the Queen, but must include a crown.
The competition will be judged by a panel including children's illustrators and Blue Peter staff, and will be overseen by British designer Martin Lambie-Nairn.



A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "The official emblem will be available for use in the lead-up to, and during, the diamond jubilee for all activities associated with the celebrations including community and national events, as well as publications."
Queen Elizabeth II's reign began on 6 February 1952 following the death of her father George VI.
A series of events, including an extra bank holiday, are expected to mark her 60 years on the throne.
It will be only the second time that a British monarch has celebrated a diamond jubilee. Queen Victoria reached hers in 1897.
The emblem competition will be officially launched during Blue Peter on BBC One on Monday.
The deadline for entries, which must be submitted on a sheet of A4 paper, is 8 December.

I wonder which under the age of 10 year old brat will win this ?

40 odd years of my experiences of Blue Peter competitions it will be a shit design given to someone who doesn't deserve to win for their design.

Yes, Blue Peter was doing this way before X-factor's Cowell clan.

Bloody hell, I've just been looking on Wikipedia in reference to Blue Peter. I was reading about Tony Hart the artist as he apparently designed the Blue Peter ship emblem. they say he used appear on the programme occasionally to tell stories to tell stories about an elephant. I'll let you read the link to see the name : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peter

All I can say is they wouldn't get away with it today !

The latest one was this :

New BBC row as winner of Blue Peter's 'design a 50p' competition is revealed to be daughter of programming chief

Blue Peter and the Olympic Games have both seen their names tarnished by cheating scandals in recent years.
So when the two came together for a special Blue Peter competition to design an Olympic-themed coin, perhaps it was inevitable that there would be accusations of a fix.
The BBC was forced to step in to defend its flagship children’s show after it emerged that the competition’s nine-year-old winner is the daughter of a senior executive at the Corporation.
