30 Days Wild T-Shirt design competition

Calling all WILD creatives!

We’re celebrating the beauty and power of being close to nature during 30 Days Wild with a T-Shirt design competition! Whether you’re inspired by the peaceful serenity of woodlands, the wild power of the sea, or the simple magic of a starry sky—this is your chance to showcase your love for the natural world and the wildlife that inhabits it! 

Theme: Nature Connection 

30 Days Wild is YOUR chance to connect with wildlife, boost your wellbeing and make a positive impact on the planet.  From puddle jumping to feeding the birds in your garden, every action – big or small – helps you to connect with the natural world around you.   

We want you to design a 30 Days Wild T-Shirt that embodies the spirit of nature connection.  

Nature connection is about our relationship with nature – how we think about, feel about, and experience nature. When we feel very close to nature, we recognise ourselves as part of the natural world, and value our relationship with it. We notice nature, seek it out, and feel happy when we are in it.
