This is your chance to be part of Bristol's bid for the 2018 World Cup.

We want you to design the football which will be part of the city's bid to be a host city for the World Cup in England in 2018.

Only two balls will be manufactured, one for our winner, and the other to be part of the bid to the Football Association.

Our winner will also join the team delivering the bid to Wembley in November.

The judging will be by a Bristol 2018 Official Bid Ambassador.

The theme 'come and play' should be the focus and we want you to capture what's special about the city.

It could be its diversity, its culture, its heritage and history, its creativity or even the skyline.

The design must be contained within a 20cm diameter circle which can fit on an A4 piece of paper - but it cannot feature a specific football team.

It can be drawn by hand or digitally but any digital submission must be by the person submitting the design and not taken from an existing source.

The two balls will be produced by www.promofootballs.co.uk and is sponsored by local arts company Upfest.

Pick up your application form and see terms and conditions in today's Evening Post.

Applications should be sent to: Design a football, Andy Sloan, Evening Post, Temple Way, Bristol BS99 7HD or email a.sloan@bepp.co.uk and mark in the subject box: Design a football

Entries must be received by Thursday, October 22.
