Winners of Highland Council design competition are awarded at schools in Inverness
THE winners of a Highland-wide design project have been revealed.
The Highland Council’s I Design Future initiative encouraged primary and secondary school pupils to help design branding for an electric vehicle (EV) and charging infrastructure throughout the region.
From hundreds of entries, winners
for the primary school competition were Ben Macgillvray from North Kessock Primary and Aysha Reid from Crown Primary, while Samantha Flavell from Millburn Academy won the prize for secondary schools.
Councillor Trish Robertson, chairwoman of the council’s climate change working group, said: “Involving pupils, educating and enthusing them to take part in this EV initiative is potentially an important step in the fight against climate change in Highland.
“We were overwhelmed with talent among young people: some showed real skill with drawing, some have imagination that inspires; some young minds used the power of words and created beautiful motivational quotes.
“The future is in safe hands with youth like this.”
