Attention all budding artists !!!
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland are inviting primary school pupils (Foundation, Key Stage 1 & Key Stage 2) and pupils from special schools throughout Northern Ireland to enter their poster competition which will commence on 1st June 2020 and run for 12 weeks.
Each child should draw or paint a picture and the design of this picture should be based on the key dangers on the farm from one of the following four categories:
Dangers from slurry
Dangers from farm animals
Dangers from tractors & other farm machinery
Dangers from falls & falling objects
Each week they will invite entries from one of the above categories. The theme for each week will be announced every Monday on HSENI’s Facebook page and on their website www.hseni.gov.uk. Competition terms and conditions can be found on the website.
Entries should be submitted portrait style on either A3 or A4 sized plain paper. To ensure entry to the competition is as simple as possible this year, they ask that a photograph or scan of the completed picture is e-mailed to safestart@hseni.gov.uk.
A cover note on the e-mail should state the child’s name, primary school attended and contact telephone number for a parent/guardian or responsible adult.
A winner will be selected each week for the 12 weeks of the competition and winners will be notified the following week.
Prizes for each of the 12 winners will be a £30 One4all gift card.
HSENI Principal Inspector Camilla Mackey said: “In previous years HSENI has produced a calendar made up of the winning entries to the competition, and the calendar has been distributed to over 42,000 rural homes throughout Northern Ireland. HSENI hopes, if possible, to produce a calendar for 2021 from the winning entries to this year’s competition."
Good Luck everyone . LM
