| | Last call for EnviroArt!
29 August 2008
Back in July, Veolia Environmental Services Nottinghamshire and Nottinghamshire County Council challenged Notts children to enter a fantastic holiday boredom buster competition. Young artists aged 8 – 16 have been getting creative and have produced some amazing recycling themed art work. We have received some truly wonderful entries from plenty of schools in the county including Newark Orchard School, Redlands Primary School and Chilwell School. These ‘EnviroArtists’ are now in with a chance to win £150 for their school and to see their masterpiece enlarged into a sign for one of the 18 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) across the county.
