Well, what an incredible couple of weeks it has been. What started out as a simple idea to do our bit for NHS staff working tirelessly to keep us safe, snowballed into a display of astounding creativity from our community. Well done to all of you who entered.

It really wasn't easy to pick a winner, and we're not just saying that. We could have picked 50 that we'd be proud to see adorn our tees. In the end though, the judges reached their verdict.

"We were totally blown away by the reaction to our NHS tee design comp. We had over 700 entries, including loads of awesome ones from children. The designs were truly amazing and I just want to say thank you to everyone who took part - we’ll be sending you all pin badges."  Finisterre Founder, Tom Kay

Yep, you read that right. We've been so impressed that for everyone who entered the competition, we'll be sending you a complementary Finisterre Pin badge.

Now, back to the business at hand.

 

And the winner is...

Congratulations!

We'll be printing Paula's design on our tees over the next couple of weeks and will be letting our community know as soon as it goes on sale. (If you're not on our mailing list already, sign up at the bottom of this page.)

100% of the sales proceeds will go to the NHS Covid-19 Urgent Appeal.  

With so many amazing designs, we wanted to share the other entries that made our top 10. We've even made up a kids shortlist, such was the quality on display - so keep on scrolling...

With some truly outstanding work from the groms out there, we decided to make a separate category, just for the children's entries.

We'll be sending each of these budding designers a pack-away rucksack from our new collaboration with the Natural History Museum.
