Bus operator First Scotland East is running a competition to give children the opportunity to see their artwork ‘wrapped’ on the side of a local bus.

The company is calling on youngsters to join in the art competition which will see the national winner land a tour of Britain’s biggest bus depot in Glasgow plus a video of their artwork being painted on to the side of the bus.

Winners from each region will be selected and the lucky winner in Stirling will get an exclusive goodie bag and a school visit from First Bus when the children return after the summer holidays.

The competition is running as part of Children’s Art Week, which this year, celebrates the theme of Connecting Across Generations. All kids need is a sheet of plain paper, some bold colours to work with and their creative imagination. Creative ideas can be submitted using any colour, pattern or drawing.

Those entering should include their name and age and should submit entries to: @FirstScotlandEast. The deadline is August 6 The competition is running in conjunction with First Bus’s Education Pack - an online educational resource created at the start of lockdown to provide primary aged children with a fun filled set of activities focused around buses which is available to download for free on www. firstscotlandeast.com/kidspack.
