The NatWest pigs have been popular for over 20 years. Now with the pigs by kids competition, children (13 and younger) have the chance to make history by designing the new NatWest pig.

Approved piggies are posted in our gallery and kids get a personalised certificate. Plus, Harry Potter illustrator Cliff Wright will present three shortlisted children with a finished design of their creations. Then the winning design - the one with the most votes - will become the new face of NatWest savings and turned into a real piggy bank.

We want kids to use their imaginations. Don't worry, we're not looking for a finished design. It can be a drawing, a paper-mâch! model, anything! All the pig needs is a name and a story (its likes, dislikes, hobbies, adventures and why it's going to be good at representing NatWest).

Competition opens 22nd October 2012. The last day to submit designs is 12pm on 11th November 2012. Three finalists will be chosen by our judging panel and the public will have the chance to vote for the design that will become the new face of NatWest savings and turned into a real piggy bank. Please read the Terms & Conditions carefully.
