Submissions accepted through Jan. 31; winning artwork to be featured on new puzzle benefitting pediatric cancer research
The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) has teamed up with Ravensburger, the world leader in jigsaw puzzles, to help piece together a cure for childhood cancer with the launch of the “Puzzles Fund the Cure Design Contest.” Now through January 31, the contest encourages children and teens nationwide to create a design that inspires hope. Ten lucky winners will have their designs incorporated into a limited-edition puzzle, with 100% of the proceeds going towards NPCF’s mission to find the best treatment options for children battling cancer.
The Puzzles Fund the Cure Design Contest encourages children and teens ages 18 and under to use their artistic skills to help impact the lives of young cancer fighters across the U.S. To enter, contestants must create a piece of art they believe inspires hope, while including both the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation’s sun logo and a puzzle piece shape. All submissions must be received by January 31, 2021, at 9 p.m. ET. Official entry rules can be found here.
Ravensburger AG, is a German game and toy company, publishing house, and market leader in the puzzle market.

Each day, 43 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer across the nation, and each year over 17,000 families in the US are affected by this disease – with pediatric cancer leading as the number one cause of death by disease among children. NPCF works to fight cancer with 29 open research trials, many of which are yielding significant results. The nonprofit’s unique collaborative research model focuses on translational studies and phase 0, 1, and 2 clinical trials that address all types of pediatric cancer. Its consortium of 20+ hospitals dedicated to this cause is known as the Sunshine Project.
