Poster competition for primary school pupils

Primary school pupils in the Vale are being asked to help design a new poster encouraging people not to drop litter as part of a competition being organised by environment warden Colin Marshall.

The winning entry will be used as the basis of a new poster for the Council to use throughout the District as part of our ongoing work to tackle the problem of litter. 

There are three age categories – under 7s, 7-9 year-olds and 9-11 year olds - with prizes for the winner and runner-up in each category. A £100 cash prize will also be given to the overall winner’s school.

We are hoping the competition will encourage pupils to think about the problems caused by dropping litter and remind them not to do this themselves.

Competition rules:

  • The competition is open to all primary school pupils in the Vale - only one entry per pupil please.
  • Posters must be no bigger than A4 in size and can be completed by hand or on the computer.
  • There will be three categories - under 7s; 7-9 year-olds and 9-11 year-olds.
  • Posters will be judged by a panel of Council staff and Councillors.
  • £25 worth of vouchers will be awarded to the winner and £10 worth of vouchers to the runner-up in each age category.
  • From the three winning posters one will be chosen as the basis for a new poster for the Council to use. A £100 prize will be given to the overall winner’s school.

The deadline for entries is 8 May. All entries must be clearly marked with the pupil’s name, age and school and should marked for the attention of Colin Marshall at the following Freepost address:

Some of the short listed posters will be displayed in our Council offices at the Abingdon and Wantage Local Services Points.
