Spar is launching an opportunity to design a lorry trailer through a new art competition with Marie Curie and James Hall & Co. Ltd.
Throughout this month, entrants will have the chance to create a design of their choice using Marie Curie’s signature yellow colour and taking inspiration from the charity’s work – with the winner having their work printed on an HGV trailer.
Spar’s primary wholesaler and distributor in the North of England, James Hall & Co. Ltd, have launched the competition to celebrate the partnership between the UK’s leading end of life charity Marie Curie and supermarket company Spar UK.
Entrants are able to enter the competition by picking up a colouring template at local Spar stores in the North of England.
Alternatively, the form can be downloaded from the James Hall & Co. Ltd website for applicants looking online.
As well as the winner having their design on the side of a lorry that will travel across the North of England, the winner will also be presented with a BMX scooter and other SPAR gifts in the form of a hamper.
“We run competitions across the year within our SPAR stores that are incentives for our adult customers only, so we’re incredibly excited to get the wheels in motion on our lorry design competition that opens the doors to children to enter,” marketing manager at James Hall & Co. Ltd, Tom Murphy.
He added: “We cannot wait to see the creative designs our customers across the North of England come up with, and in particular those of our younger shoppers. I hope as a member of the judging panel that we have an outstanding range of entries and a difficult decision in choosing a winner.”
Tom Heron, head of partnership management at Marie Curie, said: “Our partnership with SPAR and James Hall & Co. Ltd prides itself on funding Marie Curie services out in the very communities that SPAR stores serve.
“This competition celebrates the spirit of this partnership, emphasising the work that has been done to bring communities together and raise thousands of pounds to ensure that our vital services can continue to support people and their families at the end of life.”
