Intermediate Category (for students aged 11 - 13 years)

Winner: Abigail King, Manor House School (sponsored by Bookham & Horsley Rotary Club)

    Junior Category (for students aged 7 - 11 years)

    Winner: Phoebe Gamblen, Easebourne Primary (sponsored by Midhurst & Petworth Rotary Club)

    Judges thought her work was unusual as it depicted two grannies setting off to make environmental changes reflecting the idea that older people can be just as concerned as teenagers.
