The 'Fuelling the Future' art competition winners have been announced in each of Evolve's key towns.

Primary school students across Cookstown, Dungannon, Strabane, Enniskillen, Omagh and Magherafelt took on the challenge of creating art to express the benefits of gas.

Each winner had their artwork displayed on a billboard in their hometown, and they also received a £250 art pack.

Almost 300 entries were received, with over 1,000 public votes cast to arrive at the six winning entries.

The aim of the competition was to raise awareness among schoolchildren of the benefits of gas, and to encourage them to respond imaginatively to some of the key issues surrounding sustainable fuel sources.

David Butler, Director of Evolve, said: “We were delighted to have had the opportunity to glimpse the world through children’s eyes. This competition has given them the opportunity to display their artistic talent and their understanding of the critical issues involved in renewable, sustainable energy. They are the future, and from the evidence of their artworks, the future is in good hands.”
