Pupils from St Margaret Mary’s Catholic Infant School taking part in a litter pick
Knowsley Council is inviting primary school children in the borough to enter our new litter poster competition!
We want 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.
The competition winner will receive a £25 art/eco kit and an entry for their school to sign up to the Eco-Schools Green Flag programme (worth £250). The winning submission will be made into a poster to raise awareness of littering across the borough.
Poster requirements
- Size – A4 paper
- Materials – Use crayons, coloured pencils, paints or markers
- Message – include a clear anti-litter message, like a slogan
- Ideas for images – Drawings of bins, litter, parks, wildlife and people cleaning up
- Original work – designs must be created by primary school children aged between 4-11

Deadline
All entries must be submitted by Friday 25 April 2025.
