School Competition
During Swadfest 09 we ran a competition with local schools to encourage the children to recycle/use litter bins and think about their environment. Children from each school were asked to design an environmentally themed litter bin, (or ‘a bin that you would WANT to put litter in’!). The children were encouraged to design the bin around questions such as ‘What does it look like?’ , ‘Does it have a name?’, ‘Is it magical?’, ‘What colour is it?’ ‘How big is it’?’ ‘What is it made of?’, ‘Does it move? etc.’ The winning design was made into a life sized sculpture by an environmental community artist and was displayed at the Festival of Leisure on the 27th and 28th June 09.
Here is the wonderful winning design by Callum Bucknell, called RECYCLE WORM.
And we must not forget the amazing designs of the runners up. Well done!
