The Neurofied Character Challenge
Get creative! Draw your favourite Neurofied character.
The challenge
About this competition
Pick your favourite Neurofied character and bring them to life on paper. Inspector Quibble the detective fox, Sona the dragon, Cosmo the astronaut yeti, Pip the robot, Captain Quill the pirate, Mei the explorer — or any of the others in the gallery below.
Draw, paint, collage or colour. Any style counts, as long as the character is your own work. We love seeing personality, so give them a scene, a story or a brand-new adventure.
Once it's finished, ask a grown-up to send it in by email or share it on social media and tag us. Every entry receives a 10% off voucher for a yearly subscription, and the top three win additional prizes!
