Are you a Green Champion ?

Beatrix Potter Green Champions

Following the enormous success of the 2008 Beatrix Potter Green Award, Frederick Warne and the National Trust are pleased to announce that it is back again for a second year. This time it’s bigger, better and greener than before!

Appealing to all budding environmentalists, this award is designed to nurture or kick-start that green habit. Whether it is recycling, growing your own vegetables, walking to school or using bags for life, every little counts! Children aged 5-11 are asked to tell us about their green achievements by writing a story, taking a photograph, drawing a picture, or in any other creative way possible.

There are great prizes for the winners including a fantastic digital camera, a year's family membership to the National Trust and £500 towards a green initiative at their local school.

The Beatrix Potter Green Award goes to the heart of / is in keeping with Beatrix Potter’s own environmental sentiments. As well as writing and illustrating her famous Peter Rabbit books, Beatrix Potter was a conservationist, farmer and active supporter of the National Trust. This award is designed to inspire creativity and raise awareness of the environmental issues that she cared so passionately about.

The Green Award 2009 is open now and the closing date is 30th April 2009.
