The 8th May will see the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe and the end of World War 2. This was a very significant day in history, and we would love to get younger generations involved in commemorating this occasion. The present circumstances mean that the events that were planned for 8th May cannot now take place, but we are keen that this significant anniversary should still be remembered. The Spirit of Normandy Trust is running a creative competition for primary and secondary aged children across the country.
We would like children to design a poster which illustrates and captures everything that VE day is about.
We have three categories for entries and the winner of each category will receive £100. Our very own Normandy Veterans will be judging the winners of this competition. We will be adding submissions from the veterans about their experience of VE day over the coming weeks which may help inspire the design of your poster. Please feel free to use the template attached for your poster or just do it on some plain paper.
You can enter individually, telling us your name, your age and some contact details so we can get a hold of you if you win.
Categories- Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3&4 (combined) and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Closing Date - 1st May
Ideally entries should be photographed or scanned and emailed to info@spiritofnormandy.org.uk . If this would be a problem, please email us and we can provide a postal address
Please note that entries submitted will become the property of the Spirit of Normandy Trust and may be used in future publicity.
