Over 500 primary school pupils in Knowsley entered our recent litter poster competition.
We recently asked primary school children in the borough aged 4-11 to design a poster that helps encourage people to put their litter in a bin and keep Knowsley clean and tidy.
Entries were submitted from 14 schools across Knowsley and one from Sefton.
Incredible designs and ideas were put forward by all the pupils participating but the outstanding poster was submitted by 7-year-old Winter Garbe from Park View Academy Primary School in Huyton.
Winter’s winning design will be displayed around the borough to raise awareness of littering.
She will also receive a £25 art/eco kit for her fantastic submission. As the competition winner, Winter’s school will be signed up to the Eco-Schools Green Flag programme (worth £250).
The two competition runners up, both from Blacklow Brow Primary School in Huyton, will also receive prizes. They were Aurora Maguire (aged 7) and Anya Greenwood-Edwards (aged 5).
In addition to the eye-catching artwork submitted by the children there were also some fantastic catchy slogans put forward. Some of the top picks are below!
- “Slam dunk the junk”
- “Keep Knowsley clean”
- “Feed the bin, the world will win”
- “Pick up your rubbish, the world will flourish”
- “Take pride in Huyton, stay clean, make it green”
- “Don’t be mean, keep Knowsley clean”
- “Give a hoot, don’t pollute”
Cllr Shelley Powell, Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods, said: “Congratulations to Winter and to all the children who entered the competition for their fantastic designs and ideas! Winter’s design puts a smile on your face and also grabs your attention to think about the serious issues around littering in our communities. We want people to take pride in our borough and put their litter in the bin. I’m sure the creative designs put forward by our talented young people will help encourage people to do that.”
