Get organising. Your doodle pack will be sent out six weeks before the event date. In the meantime check out our ‘Tips for organisers’ section below and keep an eye on our downloadable section of the website.
This year, National Doodle Day is on Friday 27 February however your event can take place whenever suits you best.
Once you have received your organiser’s pack all you need to do is get as many students doodling as possible to be in with a chance of your school winning one of our four prize categories.
For every doodle entered we ask for a suggested donation £1. So by taking part your students will not only be doodling among thousands of others, but at the same time they will be making a real difference by raising funds for two national charities.
Once all your students have submitted their doodle and £1 donation, select a doodle to represent your school for your chance to win £500 worth of BiC stationary products.
Deadline for returning doodles is Friday 27 March 2009. When sending your doodle please remember to included the name of your chosen doodler along with your cheque to the value of donations collected.
Cheques should be made payable to National Doodle Day and returned to:

- Advertise your event on the school's website
- Check out this year’s celebrity gallery for inspiration.
- There are no rules about what constitutes a doodle – so let your imagination run wild!
- Why not create a ‘doodle gallery’ to brighten up the school hall, corridors and reception areas - we would love to see pictures of your doodle displays – please remember to send them with your donation and chosen doodle.

- Remember to tell your local paper!
- Try to get parents or your local community involved.
- Above all, remember to have fun!
