Awards trophy design winner revealed

The design of the trophy that will be presented to the winners of the Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards has been selected.

Student Henry Ross, 17, of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, Faversham, pipped a host of great illustrations to top spot in the annual design competition. He will see his design roll off the production line at Cactus Graphics in Dover this month. Cactus Graphics will use sustainable bamboo to create the trophies, giving winners of the annual event both a unique and sustainable reminder of their achievement.

The runner-up spot also went to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School this year with Bethan Whatley just missing out on claiming top honours.

Earning Highly Commended for their designs this year were: Pippa Soileux-May, 12, of St George’s Church of England School, Broadstairs; Shaya Talari, 12, of Simon Langton Girls Grammar School; Jack Brady of Simon Langton Boys Grammar School; and Oliver Purton of St George’s Church of England School, Broadstairs.

The trophy will be presented to the dozen champions at the annual wellbeing awards this autumn.

It is not too late to submit a nomination to the Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards and to stand a chance at receiving the stunning trophy, designed by Henry.
