Recognition Express is delighted to team up with the UK’s leading road safety charity, Brake, for the fourth year running to host its annual Design a Road Safety Banner Competition.

We are inviting pupils aged 4-11 from your school to enter this competition by creating a banner design to help raise awareness about road safety.

There will be twelve prize-winners across the country and if your school wins your design will be printed onto a full size outdoor banner to display outside your school during Road Safety Week (19-25 November) to raise awareness about the importance of driving slowly.

Winning schools will also receive 300 high visibility drawstring bags each and the winning designers will be presented with a personalised award.
