Schools' Competitions

School Competitions

We regularly hold school competitions around the time of fairtrade fortnight.

In 2013 we asked students to use their imagination to create a beautiful piece of original, Fairtrade-themed art work of their choice. This could be; a painting, drawing, collage, piece of sculpture or photograph etc. The key to the competition is to use Fairtrade in Guernsey as the theme. The closing date for the competition was Friday 8th March and the winning pieces of work will be displayed at Beau Sejour in May, in celebration of World Fairtrade Day on 11th May.

We've had some fantastic entries!
