Did you enter our competition?

Our 2012/13 schools competition for students in years 8 and 9 is now closed and the winners have had their prizes! More than 1660 students got involved in this year's competition, so thank you very much for your entry if you sent one in.

The winning entry was produced by Annabel Dersy, Klara Inman-Barnes and Margarita Spektor from St Catherine's School in Bramley, Guildford who chose to look at the role of a physiotherapist for their entry.

The students impressed the judges with their understanding of physiotherapy and with their creativity and hard work. Their comprehensive campaign included a Twitter account, poster, video advertisement and an interview with two physiotherapists, which featured a song they wrote and performed especially for their entry. The girls even produced a special mascot to promote the role. Watch the winning video advertisement.
