UPDATE – Congratulations to StaceyLister who is the winner of this competition. You may see an adoption of her design in our future wildfire campaign material!
Can you help save our countryside?
Following two devastating wildfires already in 2020 we’re calling for people to stop using disposable barbecues in the countryside in a bid to save our countryside, parks, moors and sand dunes.
To support this campaign, and in partnership with our Prince’s Trust programme, we’re running a poster design competition for Lancashire-based 16–25 year olds. We’ll use the winning design as part of our campaign in wildfire hotspots across the county and the winner will receive an Apple iPad!
What do we want: The poster needs to be A4 sized and have a strong message to make people think twice about the devastating impact that using disposable barbecues can have. You can use your own drawing skills, design skills if you have access to design software, use pictures, magazines, anything that shows your creative side and gets the important fire safety message across!
How to enter: Please like and follow our Facebook page www.facebook.com/LFRSPT
and email your entries to: carolinehooson@lancsfirerescue.org.uk whilst stating your name, age and what part of Lancashire you’re from as well as returning the form here. Please note that entries made without the form cannot be considered due to Data Protection.
How long do I have: The closing date is Sunday 12th July 2020
It has been identified that disposable barbeques are a major cause of wildfires. Justin Johnston, Chief Fire Officer, said: “Wildfires are easily started and can spread rapidly putting people, property and infrastructure at risk. The terrain makes them challenging to firefight and demands large amounts of resources from the service and our partners.”
Terms and Conditions

The judges will use their judgement to choose a winner purely down to the wildfire safety messaging and creativeness of the design. The winning design will be designed professionally by our in-house designers if necessary so it is print-ready to be displayed at key beauty spots around Lancashire.
