Narberth primary school pupil wins design competition

Tilly Plumb from Narberth Community Primary School won the Blas y Tir Pembrokeshire Earlies design prize.

The award was announced and the winner's trophy presented at the Pembrokeshire County Show last week.

The competition, organised by Puffin Produce's fresh vegetable brand Blas y Tir, saw more than 3,000 entries from 16 primary schools in Pembrokeshire.

Pupils were asked to create designs centred on agriculture, the environment, and Pembrokeshire Earlies.

A finalist was chosen from each school by the Blas y Tir design team and put to a public vote, with more than 1,000 votes being cast.

Tilly Plumb's victory earned her an annual family pass to Folly Farm and the Blas y Tir design competition trophy. The individual school winners were given an arts and crafts pack, a certificate and two tickets to the Pembrokeshire County Show.

Huw Thomas, CEO of Puffin Produce, said: "We’ve been so impressed with the quality and imagination of all of the designs - we’ve got some very talented young designers here in Pembrokeshire.

"Our design team had a really tough job to pick our 16 finalists and we’re thrilled for Tilly that she has won the public vote.

"It’s crucial that children understand the value and importance of eating healthy, fresh vegetables, and see the connections with the agricultural communities and environment around them.

"We are grateful for all of the teachers and school staff who have supported these lessons and helped their pupils engage with our design competition."

The 16 primary schools which took part in the competition were Holy Name School, Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi St David's School, Narberth Community Primary School, Ysgol Wdig, Ysgol Maenclochog, Ysgol Bro Ingli, St Aidans Primary School, Tavernspite CP School, Ysgol Caer Elen, Pembroke Dock Community School, Cleddau Reach VC School, Llanychllwydog School, Ysgol Casmael, Broad Haven Primary School, Ysgol Glannau Gwaun, and St Marks Primary School.
