The Cameron Bespolka Trust are delighted to announce that we are launching a creative competition to all school children in London in celebration of our 70 nestboxes for 70 years project.

We would like to thank all the schools that signed up to the 70 Nestboxes for 70 Years campaign. We have had 106 schools sign up across London and this is a very positive step towards raising awareness of the capital’s wildlife among children in schools.

You could paint, draw, colour, photograph or write a poem or prose about nestboxes

It is simple to enter our competition and there are exciting prizes to be won for your school.

Theme
We would like you to carry on with the idea of nestboxes. It could be based on a nestbox in your school (including the one your school might have received), garden or local park. You could include birds, trees, flowers or chicks in your piece. Let your imagination go wild! 

Medium
We would like to leave this to you. You could paint, draw, colour, photograph or write a poem or prose about nestboxes. Be as creative as possible!

There are two categories: Primary School (4-11) and Secondary School (11-18). Each child can submit a photograph of their entry to amy@cameronbespolka.com, with parental or teacher consent.
