A 14-year-old student at Saint John Houghton Catholic Voluntary Academy has won a national poster competition run by supermarket giant, Aldi.
Alice Chen created the poster for the competition launched as part of Aldi’s Get Set To Eat Fresh initiative, run in partnership with Team GB and ParalympicsGB, which is designed to inspire students aged five to 14-years-old to cook and eat healthy, fresh food.
The teenager’s design used the slogan ‘Take What You Want, Eat What You Take’. She won both a £250 gift card and the opportunity to have her poster displayed in the Aldi Head Office.
Alice said: “My family were very proud, and I was shocked. I didn’t expect to win.”
Luke Emery, National Sustainability Director at Aldi, said: “This competition has been a great way to get children thinking about how we can all play a part in cutting down our food waste. It has been encouraging to see so many young people take an interest in sustainability and express their ideas in such a creative way.
“We had lots of fantastic entries but the winning poster by Alice does a wonderful job of showing how small, everyday actions can make a big difference to the planet.”
