Enter our Duck Food Packaging Competition!

 

Gunnersbury Park and Museum’s popular duck food is getting a makeover, and we need your help! We’re inviting local people from Hounslow and Ealing to design our brand new duck food packaging for our gift shop. 

Our duck food not only raises vital funds for Gunnersbury Park and Museum, so it can be here for another 100 years, it also helps protect wildlife in the park. It’s full of nutrients that provides a good balanced diet for ducks, unlike bread or other human food. 

We also want to celebrate our incredible talented local community by featuring artwork designed by you! 

Sounds like you? Enter this competition for a chance to see your design printed and sold in our gift shop! 

Competition opens on Friday 3 July and closes on Mon 24 August. There are four categories: 0-6, 7-12, 13-17, 18+, with one winner from each category.

Winners are announced after Thurs 10 September 2026.  

Winners will be chosen by our Community Cultural Champions, so our brand-new duck food packaging will be designed by the local community, chosen by the local community for the local community.
