Joseph and Madeline win Leaders Olympic-themed drawing competition!

Our drawing competition this year had an Olympic theme and we were once again delighted to receive hundreds of pictures from school children across the South. Children aged 4-11 years were invited to create their own Good Luck message for Team GB for a chance to win £250 for their school and £50 gift vouchers for themselves.

Congratulations to Joseph Wareham-Mewse, age 6, from West Moors in Dorset who was the winner of the 4-7 year category with his clever painting of a moving Olympic cyclist ; and to Madeline Hopkin, age 8, from Redhill who won the 8-11 year category with her beautifully drawn Good Luck message.

With the standard so high we also chose a number of runner-up prize winners who will be contacted over the coming weeks to receive a special art kit. They are:

Age 4-7 years category:

Etienne Cheriton-Gerard; Charlotte Piraino; Noah Bateman; Thom Burton; Jacob Beard; Thomas Woodward; Cole Hodler; Renee Marson; Tia Anderson; Chrisopher Rixon; Cameron Feest; Joshua Spencer; Hollie-Mai Butcher; Robyn Davies; Harry Pearce; Lucas Akins; Jack Carrington; Lucas Gianni Williams; Eman and Eli Stisted

A selection of the best entries will be sent to Team GB next month, ahead of the Olympics. 

We would like to thank all the children who entered for their wonderful pictures; we really appreciated the time, effort and imagination that went into them and we are sure that all the members of Team GB will too.
