Warwickshire County Council’s Trading Standards firework safety poem and poster competition has two categories this year - children in reception, year one and year two can create a firework safety poster and children in years three to six a firework poem or rhyme.

The ten winners - selected by Janet Faulkner, group manager of the council’s trading standards service - will be presented with a £10 book token each and their poem or poster will be used by the council to promote next year’s comptition.

Children can enter as many times as they wish but must write their name, age, and school or home address on the back of their posters. All entries must be on A4 paper and sent to: Simon Cripwell, Firework Safety Competition, Warwickshire Trading Standards Service, Old Budbrooke Road, Warwick, CV35 7DP.

All entries must be received by Wednesday October 31.
