Competition: The Queen’s Knickers – Children’s Drawing Competition
To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee we are inviting children of all ages to go into their local library and design an extra special pair of knickers that Her Majesty may like to wear on her special day! Based on the book by Nicholas Allan, the competition will have a prize for the best design in three age ranges:
- 0-5 years
- 6-8 years
- 9-12 years
Children may enter as many times as they like, and the library will be making a display of all of the designs created. Running throughout May.
