Stop The Spread - Wiltshire Primary School Poster Competition
Friday 20th September 2024
WIN PRIZES FOR YOUR SCHOOL
Competition closes 10th January 2025
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease to spread, severe illness and death. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective, and infections become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat.
To help raise awareness we are introducing a ‘Stop The Spread’ Wiltshire Primary School Poster Competition. This fits this year’s AMR week (18th-24th November 2024) campaign theme to Educate. Advocate. Act Now.
What are the Prizes?
Three winners, one from each age group, will win for their school a £75 book token and a Show and Glow handwashing kit.
The winners will also get their artwork professionally printed and shared on Wiltshire Council social media.
Six runners-up will win, for their school, a £25 book token each.
The winners and the runners-up with be invited to a prize giving event at County Hall Trowbridge where they will all be presented with a certificate.
Each winner will receive a gift presented at the prize giving ceremony.
