LIDL Northern Ireland is calling on budding young artists across the region to unleash their inner Picasso and create an eye-catching design to feature on the retailer’s brand-new reusable shopping bags, made from 100 per cent recycled plastic.

Drawing inspiration from the world around them, and their own imagination, children are encouraged to get creative and submit a drawing, sketch or painting of what one of the 'Rs' of sustainability means to them – choosing from the themes, ‘reduce’, ‘reuse’ or ‘recycle’.

To be in with a chance to win, pick up a colouring competition entry form in any Lidl Northern Ireland store from Monday, January 25, or download the form at www.lidl-ni.co.uk/shopping-bags and print it off at home.

To submit your masterpiece, entrants can take a picture of their creation and upload it to the competition’s webpage.

Entries close at 11.59pm on Sunday, February 28.

One lucky winner will be chosen to have their submission brought to life on Lidl Northern Ireland’s new recycled shopping bag range, to be available in all 40 stores across the region from September.

The winner will also receive a £500 Lidl Northern Ireland gift card.
