Back in February we told you about the ‘Design a Monster’ competition launched by Doctor Who Adventures, and its winner has now been revealed!

Jessica Rickarby, aged 12 from Suffolk, created the winning design of the Screamer, which will feature in the magazine in a brand new comic strip. As well as that, a 10-inch model of it has also been made and will be shown on display at the Doctor Who Experience in London for the next 3 months. The winner was chosen by a panel of editorial staff.

Editor of DWA, Natalie Barnes, commented: “The popularity of our Design a Monster competition highlighted the amazing imagination of children in the UK. As soon as we saw the Screamer we knew that Jessica’s creation was the winner. With the ability to render its victim unconscious by screaming in its face, the Screamer is original and scary. We had to ask the model-maker to ensure it wasn’t too terrifying for adults!”
