BBC Children in Need Igglepiggle outfit design competition

[GeraldineMumsnet]

Pudsey is challenging you (or your kids) to design a new outfit or accessories (!) for Igglepiggle from In the Night Garden.

The winner and nine runners-up will win heaps of In the Night Garden goodies, but the winning design will also be auctioned on eBay (the raising money for children bit). You can bid for celebrities' Igglepiggle designs on eBay on Friday 7 November and for the winning Mumsnet design on Wednesday 12 November.

Details of how to submit your design and the Igglepiggle template are here.

Maximum one entry per person and the closing date is 10am on Monday 10 November.

Can't do A3 will have to be a4- dd doing hers atm

how can you get it less than 1mb - even a black and white drawing version is 1.1 ?

LIZS What software are you using? You should be able to compress the image so the dimensions are A3 but the file size under 1MB. The quality isn't quite as high but shouldn't be a problem. Avoid saving as a BMP or TIF file, go for something like a JPG.

Hope this makes it easier, have reduced template to A4 size, so smaller file size, plus easier to print etc.

I already have it A4 (my printer/scanner is that size) but still too big to email. Will try to save as a jpeg

ok have done it as a .tif (whatever that is !) and sent it - can we confiorm if it got through ok ?

LIZS, sorry for delay, yes, we've got your entry. thanks

Has anyone tried to go to www.ebay.co.uk/igglepiggle - dying to see the celeb outfits but the page doesn't seem to exist yet?

Thought it as only me that couldnt find it. So disappointed

I just found it! Check out:

www.inthenightgarden.co.uk

Sorry being dim but in the "designed by" box do you want real names or MN names?

I have a question.

We have ben busy designers here in the Slur house, and dd, ds and moi have all designed an iggle piggle (admittedly ds's is a bit err avant garde). Now when you say one entry per person, do you mean per person or per household?

Sooooooo, Can I send you 3 separate emails?

Oops I sent you emails but I am not sure if they were too big. Can you confirm they got through?

Ah actually I sent you six emails. hmmm. did any get through?

Oh errr NOT that we are desperate or anything, in fact DD is entirely calm and dispassionate aboutthe whole thing, she is after all 4.

Sorry, needed to be in office to check the comp inbox, will do so right now

slur just checked and can't see any emails from you

have had other entries with pdf attached and they've got through.

Email [email protected] if you'd like help with it.

Coca if it's your design, I'd put your MN nickname, but if it's your child's, I'd put their name.

oh disaster! oh right, I will try again. doh.

Any news about the winners yet?

Aren't we supposed to be able to bid for the mumsnet winner iggle on ebay today?

Oh I was hoping to find out who had been selected and who had won.

I never got round to doing one

dd still looking like , so many thanks again. I can't believe it is already at £155 !!!! Do we know how much the celeb ones have raised ?

WELL DONE LIZS - your DD did a fabulous job and she is raising lots of money (MORE than some of the celebs I think!) has she made you bid on it yet???!!!

Ahhh well done LIZS dd
Just been to have a look on ebay. 20 bids and at £155!

Well done!

Congratulations again LizS

Have you received your prize already? My son was lucky enough to win a runners up prize but we've not received anything yet and was hoping it'll arrive before Christmas. I'm checking in with Alexia too but also wanted to check with you.

Have a great Christmas everyone.
