Design a Road Safety Banner Competition 2023

For the 15th year running, Recognition Express is proud to be supporting national road safety charity BRAKE through our annual ‘Design a Road Safety Banner’ competition.

The competition invites pupils aged 4-11 to enter by designing a banner based on the theme for this year’s BRAKE Road Safety Week (19-25 November); Let’s talk about SPEED – five people die on roads every day, why do will still think it is OK to speed?

This campaign aims to ask why people think it is OK to speed and remind everyone just how dangerous it is to drive faster than the legal limits. Reducing speed saves lives.

Winning designs will be reproduced onto high-quality full-size banners for display outside the winning children’s schools to help keep road users safe during the long winter nights. In addition the budding designers will also receive a personalised trophy to mark their achievement. Schools themselves will be invited to present the banner and trophy to the winning child giving you the opportunity for a celebratory assembly whilst at the same time underline an important road safety message.

To get involved simply download our online entry form here where you will find a design template on the reverse which can be photocopied and completed for each design entry. Entries should then be either uploaded to the form below, emailed to [email protected] or posted to the address provided by the extended closing date of Monday 16th October 2023.
