Young Le Tour artists cycle off with prizes
The contest held by Halifax Calder Rotary Club was open to all children under 12, schools and local youth groups were given a picture outline drawn by one of the Rotary club members and asked to distribute it to as many children as possible, asking them to colour it in and make it their own.
“It was very successful.” said Jim Walker, president of Halifax Calder Rotary. “Over 200 children from across Calderdale entered and we were delighted at the amount of effort they had all clearly made. All the excellent entries we received certainly made the judge’s decision difficult!”
