Scotmid competition celebrates 200 years of RNLI

Lifeboat

Scotmid has launched a nationwide competition for under-18s to design the front cover of a magazine for its charity partner, RNLI.

The competition comes ahead of RNLI’s 200th anniversary and budding artists are invited to submit a design that highlights the spirit of its work over the years within its communities, emphasising elements of inspiration, courage, and community spirit.

The winning design will reach thousands of Scotmid members. In addition, the winner will receive an exclusive package of RNLI prizes.

Scotmid’s charity partnership with RNLI got underway last year and will run until August 2024. Funds raised over its course will enable the purchase a new Atlantic 85 lifeboat, which will form part of RNLI’s relief fleet and will be used by stations to assist in critical rescues during times when other vessels are undergoing repairs or maintenance.

Kirsty Connell, Membership and Community Manager at Scotmid, said: “This competition is a wonderful way to commemorate such a huge milestone for the RNLI and our shared commitment to our communities. Partnering with the RNLI has been a privilege, as their tireless efforts serve as a lifeline. We’re excited to provide young artists a platform to express their creativity and honour the invaluable work of RNLI volunteers.”

Anyone aged 18 years and under can enter and designs should be submitted to Scotmid by 19 April 2024. Artwork can be emailed to competition@scotmid.co.uk or by post to the Scotmid Membership Team, Hillwood House, Harvest Drive, Newbridge, EH28 8QJ. If you email a submission, keep the original in a safe place in case you win!
