Foods from Spain's National Primary Schools Competition was launched in early
2007. It invited every primary school in the UK to create a collage
that represented 'Fresh fruit and vegetables from Spain', using any
material, from dried fruit peel and seeds to cloth and pictures cut
out of glossy magazines.
The competition aimed to encourage children to take an interest in fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy eating.
Kingston Primary School in Essex won first prize of £2,000 to spend on school equipment or facilities. Judges of the competition commended the school's entry for its originality, realism and use of actual fresh produce.
Warren Primary School, Orpington, Kent and Park Hill Primary School, West Midlands won second and third place in the competition and will receive £1,000 and £500, respectively.
Director of Foods from Spain, María José Sevilla, said: "We all have been so pleased with the way British primary schools have supported our first National Primary Schools Competition and at the extremely high standard of the hundreds of entries we received."
