ChildLine wallpaper competition

                 
                            Last month, we asked you to create, write or draw something that shows what ChildLine means to you using the creative tool. The successful entry would inspire a new wallpaper for the ChildLine website in time for ChildLine’s 25th birthday. Thank you to everyone who took part in the competition. We are pleased to announce the winner has now been chosen!

Competition winner: ellaiscool

Thank you to everyone who submitted in their entries. We received lots of amazing designs
which made it difficult to select a winner. It was, however, the ChildLine wallpaper by ellaiscool that captured the judges' interest.

The bright coloured circles reminded them of balloons, confetti and
celebrations and showed
ChildLine as being a very happy place. The ChildLine community is also very supportive of each other, in the same way the different coloured circles come together to create something wonderful. You can post a comment about the design on the Picture gallery message board or see what others have written.

Thank you all again for taking part. All submitted designs can be seen in the Creative gallery. We thought all the designs were amazing. Here are a few that made our shortlist:
