Super Me makes it SUPER easy to inspire your pupils to be creative.

All you need is an entry form for each pupil - download or request as many as you need from the tabs above ⬆️

What can they draw?

Children can draw themselves as a superhero, create an animal, human, robot or alien hero, or draw an everyday hero such as a nurse, police officer or firefighter.

They can really let their imaginations fly as they design costumes and think up amazing superpowers. You can even combine art and literacy by encouraging your pupils to add labels or a short description to their pictures.

Then send them in to us via email, upload or post.

What happens to the pictures?
Your pupils' drawings will be published in a full-colour book (subject to parental permission), so get out the colouring pencils and pens, and use this checklist to ensure their pictures will look fantastic in the book. The winners will then be chosen from the published entries.

Seeing their pictures printed in a real book is a real WOW moment for kids - they will be so proud and inspired to keep creating!

So get your class involved today and showcase their amazing creativity!

If any of your pupils would like to write a story, check out Ridiculous Writers!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super Me!

This fabulous drawing competition is guaranteed to get your child having fun and being creative. They can draw themselves as a superhero, create a new animal, human, robot or alien hero, or draw an everyday hero such as a nurse, police officer or firefighter.

They can really let their imaginations fly as they design costumes and think up amazing superpowers. You can even combine art and literacy by encouraging them to add labels or a short description to their picture.

Pictures chosen for publication will be published in a full-colour book, so get out the colouring pencils and pens for a colour explosion. We know seeing their work in print is a fantastic motivator for children, and there are fantastic prizes too - one drawing from each book will feature on the front cover and win a £10 book token, and from those finalists the top 5 artists will be chosen to win a creative goody bag.

Super Me will give your child the power of creativity - we can't wait to see how they use it!
