What one lucky child could win

  • Big Todd will invite one lucky winner to Barnardo’s in Essex on 31st August 2010 for a photo shoot with the good captain himself, including a tour of the Dr Barnardo's village and a picnic.
  • The photo from the winner’s special day will appear in our pack next year, and on our website, along with the winning drawing.
  • Runners-up – one from each region of the UK – will win a cuddly Todd beanie.

Just a few conditions

  • Big Todd should be drawn from scratch, not just coloured in from a template
  • The drawing should be done by each child individually, not as a group, and only one child will be the overall winner.
  • You must have paid in your Toddle money in order to attend
  • Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed, if required, for one child and one accompanying adult
  • Sadly we will not be able to return the drawings so please make a copy
