WIRRAL South MP Ben Chapman has launched an art competition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Health Service.

In conjunction with the Wirral Globe, Ben is asking youngsters to design a picture or poster to celebrate the anniversary. The best pictures in each age category will be printed in the Globe and displayed at Clatterbridge Hospital.

The three age groups are up to nine years old, 10-15 and 15 and above. Prizes will be given for the best three posters in each section. Send your entries to Ben Chapman, 32 Bebington Road, New Ferry. Posters should be no larger than A3 in any medium. Closing date for entries is Monday, August 3. Good luck!
