Design A Poster Competition 2010

.

A bold design of pink tulips painted by Isabelle Oliveira, age 9, has proved the overall winner of this year’s Poster Design competition run by Richmond Borough in Bloom. Her painting is now the centrepiece of a poster to publicise all the summer gardening competitions and will be seen in libraries and information centres throughout the borough.

Now in its twentieth year, the competition attracts hundreds of entries, which are judged in four age groups. Isabelle, who attends St James’ RC School, came top of Category C, for those aged 8-11 years and the others were Erin Higson, 3, from The Unicorn School, in Category A (under 5 years); Tom Maddock, 7, from St Elizabeth’s Primary School, in Category B (5-7 years) and Jessica Williams, 13, from Waldegrave School for Girls, in Category D (12-16 years). There are also two runners-up in each age group.

All award winners will receive a pack of art materials and a Borough in Bloom commemorative certificate. The top four finalists have also won for their school gardens two Amberol Cultivators.

There will be a presentation tea party with the Mayor on Thursday, May 13 at York House, Twickenham, to which winners’ parents, siblings and teachers are invited.

Blow-up copies of all the award winning designs will be on exhibition at the Borough in Bloom stand on Richmond Green (near the stage) at the May Fair on Saturday May 8.
