Reveal your character competition

What would your character look like if you were on The Masked Singer?

We are delighted to offer this exciting competition to create your own character to celebrate our partnership with The Masked Singer, open to ages 4 – 14.

The identity of each character on The Masked Singer is kept a secret until their mask is removed. However, the panel of judges are given lots of clues throughout the competition, including via the songs the characters choose and the elements of their spectacular outfits, which all represent the person behind the mask.

To celebrate our partnership, we are working with Draw with Rob illustrator, Rob Biddulph, for our ‘Reveal your character’ competition.

We want you to describe what your character would look like to best represent you. Do you love animals? Are you a keen swimmer? A book worm? Or do you love to draw?

Ask your adult to provide between three and five features of your character. This is your chance to have a voice and tell us what makes you shine!

Find out more about Rob on his website or Instagram.

Three winners will be selected to have their characters brought to life in illustration by Rob Biddulph of Draw with Rob and receive a signed print of their character. Our panel of judges includes Rob Biddulph, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan, who will be helping to shortlist the final three entries.
