OUR Design an Egg competition is back for 2018 and is open to children and schools across the borough.

There are two age groups - four to seven, and eight to 11 – and the winners in each category will have their designs made into Easter eggs by chocolatier Slattery, of Whitefield.

Attached is a blank egg template for the children to colour in.

The closing date for entries is Monday, March 12.

Our judges will select the designs, which will feature in a special supplement on Thursday, March 15.

Readers will then have the chance to vote for their favourite designs. The winners will be those who receive the most votes.
