Unlock your creativity and be part of a continental celebration of design. Are you ready to design templates that help small businesses, Solopreneurs, and Freelancers level-up and stand out?

Think WhatsApp product menus, email templates, business cards, brand kits, social video templates and let’s not forget those creator rate cards and yes, even that link in bio. Ready to lock in? Use Canva to design those must-have templates for Africa by Africa and submit as many as you like before 15 December 2025.

Your design could win you a share of US$10,000, 1:1 Mentorship with Canva designers, exclusive Canva Swag and your templates will be published on Canva.
