A CHARITY is calling on primary school children in West Dunbartonshire to design a badge for its walk to school campaign.

Living Streets is on the hunt for the next budding designers as they launch their WOW badge competition, one of the largest design competitions for children in the UK.

WOW rewards pupils who walk to school at least once a week with a different collectable WOW badge each month, designed by pupils in the nationwide competition.

Eleven winning designs are turned into the monthly badges, with winners receiving prizes for themselves and their school, including a year’s supply of WOW resources.

There is also the prestigious accolade of seeing the designs turned into more than 450,000 badges for use in over 2,000 schools across the UK during the next academic year.

This year’s theme is ‘inventions that changed the world’.

Entrants are being encouraged to recognise the inventions of lesser-celebrated people, including people of colour and women inventors.

The competition closes on March 15. See livingstreets.org.uk.
