Black Sheep Wools Post Box Topper Competition 2024

Fabulous toppers are popping up on Royal Mail Post Boxes all over the country. To celebrate the makers of these crocheted and knitted masterpieces, we're running this competition to show off and reward the very best.

Your post box topper can be topical, intricate or just downright cute, the only rules are that it is either knitted or crocheted and photographed in situ, plus it must be your own work!
We are not expecting you to make one of these in a weekend, so you have until 18th August to get it finished and up on a post box; then simply take two pictures and enter our competition using the links below.
There are three prizes:
Each will also receive a rosette to display pride of place on their winning topper!
The winners will be picked by our fab local post office. Faz and his team are an amazing part of our village, always on hand to help and they were delighted to be asked to help us judge this competition.
