Judges of this year's Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards are asking pupils to help design the trophy that will be presented at the ceremony. The winner of the competition will be able to visit the production company - Cactus Graphics - to watch as the trophies come off the production line after being cut from sheets of sustainable bamboo. A photo of the winning pupil and their trophy will be displayed on a giant screen at the award celebration later this year!
Furthermore, and as if that isn't enough, the winning pupil will be invited to be a baton bearer of this year's UK Baton of Hope tour when the engraved trophy travels the length of the UK, visiting 40 towns and cities (including a number in Kent) to encourage positive conversations around mental health!
Entries for the competition should be on A4 paper and include the pupil's name, age, class and school name on the front but not touching the design. A scanned copy or photograph should be emailed to simondolby@eastkentmind.org.uk by 1st June 2025. Original copies of the design should be retained as these will be needed later on should your child's entry be selected as the winner.

Good luck!
