Get creative with our Food Waste Poster Competition!

We are working with #FoodSavvy to encourage residents to reduce the amount of food they throw away. Can you help us spread the message by designing a poster?

We are challenging children aged 5 to 12 across the district to get creative and to design a poster to encourage residents to think about what they throw away and to not waste food.

The artwork can focus on themes such as planning meals, storing food properly, using leftovers, favourite foods/recipes, composting, growing your own food, and more.

The winners will receive a seed kit, an educational sticker and activity book, a certificate, and will get the opportunity to see their artwork on display.
