The campaign competition project offered students the opportunity to work on a business-in-the-real-world project with educational content covering a range of activities – marketing planning and strategy, research, creative concepts, final design works and evaluations.

There were two runner-up schools with team entries that, in the opinion of the judges, showed creative flair and understanding of marketing issues surrounding litter – St Paul’s High School, Bessbrook, Newry and the Northampton School for Boys, Billing Road, Northampton. The runner-up schools each won £250 and the runner-up teams won £250 of vouchers for their student members.
