Unlock your creativity by designing an ‘Outside the Box’ Bloom &  Wild letterbox this March

Bloom & Wild are calling all creatives who want to join their high-profile packaging  portfolio to submit their designs for the brand’s well-loved letterbox (see images). The chosen  winner will receive a commission of £2,500 and have their box seen by thousands of  Bloom & Wild’s customers. 

Over the years, Bloom & Wild have collaborated with brands and designers to  create beautiful boxes for their bestselling letterbox flowers. Some of the big brands they have worked with include​ Liberty London, Boden, Mother of Pearl and Peggy & Kate.

Creativity is at the heart of the brand and they’re excited to begin the search for a  new, up-and-coming designer to create the next pattern for the letterbox.   

The design brief   

This Summer Bloom & Wild is opening the brief to UK designers from any background, at any  stage in their life, who want a chance to design our next letterbox. The theme for our range is ‘Summer Brights’. Featuring vibrant cerise and coral tones,  the flowers across this range are joyful, energetic and bold.

How to enter

Send a mood board via ​Bloom & Wild’s competition page ​that  demonstrates your box-design concept. You can include a rationale to understand  where your ‘Summer Brights’ idea came from plus examples of previous work you  have done to demonstrate your style. 

We’ll ask the winning designer to roll their idea out across the outside and inside of  the box, plus the finer details. For example, the sticker and ribbon around the  flowers’ cellophane and a matching gift card for customers to add at checkout.  

To submit your work head to ​www.bloomandwild.com/outside-the-box​ ​where  you can upload a digital mood board, a scan of your sketchbook or whatever works  for you.    

The prize

We’ll announce the judges’ favourite entries on Monday 8th April 2019. The winner of  this competition will be commissioned to the value of £2,500 by Bloom & Wild to turn their idea into a  box pattern for the July/August ‘Summer Brights’ collection. This also includes an original piece of design for the box outer and inner, plus suggestions for a sticker design and ribbon pattern/colour and a gift card cover  design or designs (at A6 spec) that ties into your theme and can be selected by our  customers at checkout so the packaging sits as a set. 

Closing date

The deadline is midnight on Sunday 31st March 2019 to submit your entry.   Terms and conditions can be found on Bloom & Wild’s competition page.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
