The standard of work for the Schools Poster Competition was exceptional - such inspired imagery - and the judges had a difficult choice. In the end two designs were chosen, one for it's image and the other for its wording. Two schools will share the £100 prize.

As well as the two winners, eight other posters were chosen to be Highly Commended. We think that a certificate of achievment will be an appropriate thank you to each child.

We would like to thank all of the children and their schools for their splendid efforts and for their valued contribution to Selkirk's campaign to be Plastic Bag Free.
