Young Bognor Regis artist in chance of scooping prize
Her artwork has been chosen by the town’s Lions from 86 hopefuls as their entry into the organisation’s latest peace poster contest.
The A3-sized scene in coloured pencil of a teddy bear’s picnic will be put up against others in the worldwide competition. The prize for the ultimate winner is a trip to the UN and $5,000.

Hide AdMolly, 13, a pupil at The Regis School, won £50. She said: “I thought the picnic was childish and peaceful. I’m proud I’ve won but I didn’t think I would when I was drawing it.”
Her catchline was: “Peace is about being happy and getting on with the people around us.”
Second prize and £25 went to fellow The Regis School pupil Bailey Patten, 12, for his country scene in coloured pencil and watercolours.
Lions past president Graham Stuart-Hill said: “The main point of the contest is getting children’s creative ideas for the further heats.”
