Fruity colouring competition

Youngsters have the chance to design artwork which will be seen by hundreds of thousands of shoppers during the school summer holidays.

The competition is to promote the retailer’s Free Fruit Scheme, which gives a gala apple, orange or banana to under 13-year-olds linked to an adult member’s account when they show their free fruit card. 

The scheme runs twice during the year and sees around 36,000 pieces of fruit shared annually with the 11,410 young people who are currently signed up for the scheme.

Now, young people from across the area are being asked to design the posters, in-store signs, marketing materials and free fruit cards and mailers for this summer’s campaign. 

The designs must feature an apple, orange and banana and need to be submitted to the Coop by Saturday, June 14. 

Entry forms are available HERE and in all local stores.

Membership Manager Rik Greig said: “Our free fruit scheme is incredibly popular and is our way of helping to encouraging healthy habits.

“Now, we’re calling for more young people to get involved and help us create fabulous fruitastic art to promote the scheme to our customers.

“It would be a great activity for organisations that support young people too; such as local guiding and scouting groups or youth clubs.

“We can’t wait to see what our young artists come up with and decide who our top banana will be!”

Dividend card holders can add under 13s to their account via https://www.lincolnshire.coop/sign-in?redirect=/my-account/my-details 

The next free fruit campaign will start this summer.
