Just Youth are running a competition for children and young people in Sandwell during the summer to coincide with our ‘Summer of Fun’ holiday activity programme.
We would like to ask young people to produce a poem (no more than 300 words), a photograph or artwork, as long as it can be reproduced as a single image within a printed page that captures their ‘summer of fun’ in Sandwell. It may be a representation of an activity/ activities you’ve attended during the summer or just something that has captured your imagination.
