Keep Swindon Tidy and Plastic Free Swindon are teaming up to create a gallery of posters to encourage everyone in Swindon to keep our town tidy.
Since the lockdown eased, we’ve noticed that not everyone is making use of bins or taking their rubbish home, including disposable face masks which are ending up discarded on the pavements in some areas. We want to get as many people as possible involved in making a difference, so please send us your Keep Swindon Tidy poster design for our gallery.
Entries are welcome to address any litter theme (avoiding single use plastic/ wearing reusable masks/ taking litter home with you/ using the bins) and can be relevant to a particular area (eg, Keep our Town Centre tidy/ Keep Haydon Wick Tidy) or for all of Swindon in general.
The gallery will be open on the Plastic Free Swindon website from 1 September at http://plasticfreeswindon.org and children (and adults!) from across Swindon are encouraged to send in their designs.
Entries can be emailed to Plastic Free Swindon from Friday 28 August and we aim to keep building the gallery for the next six months. This means there is no closing date planned yet! See the Plastic Free Swindon webpage for details: http://plasticfreeswindon.org/activities/keepswindontidy/posters/
This isn’t a competition, it’s about co-operation, so all entries will be displayed with the name and age of the artist on our gallery page. As the gallery grows, the posters will be available for other residents, community groups and schools to download, print off and display to encourage us all to do our bit to keep our neighbourhoods looking lovely.
We’re so looking forward to seeing the inspiring and imaginative designs that Swindon’s budding artists can send in! Draw the change that you want to see in the world..!
