Smokefree Artwork - Hannah Yoeman Scoops First Prize

Year five and year six pupils in primary schools across Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale were asked to represent what ‘Smoke Freedom’ means to them as part of a poster competition run by TASK Stop Smoking Service.

Budding artists were asked to put their creative skills to the test and design a poster that reflected what being ‘smoke free’ meant to them.

Judges were looking for designs that expressed the positive impacts of becoming smoke free in the run up to the Smoking Ban due to come into force on 1 July 2007. Hannah Yoeman of Littleborough Community School came out on top out of lot of submissions.

Hannah won tickets for her and three other lucky people she chose to take to the Rochdale AFC home game on 10 March. Hannah got VIP treatment in the executive box, plus a presentation at half time on the pitch. A three course meal  followed  - and she met the players plus got a framed signed t-shirt and football.
 
Her creative abilities also won £150 worth of resources for her school Littleborough Community Primary. The vouchers and a trophy are being presented to the school on Tuesday 15 May.
 
There were two runner ups who both won prizes of a signed t-shirt and football from RAFC and individual trophies:

Second Place went to Imogen Eastwood also of Littleborough Community Primary
Third Place went to Iqra Jangir from Hamer community school.
 
Iqra Jangir will be presented with her prize at school on the 16 May at 3.00pm.
 
The rest of the entires are up on display at the Wheatsheaf Library.
