A massive well done to all our category winners and to those who reached the shortlist. The standard of posters this year was incredibly high – our judges had a tough job choosing their favourites!
Bushra Schuitemaker, a zoologist at Quadram Institute and one of our Smashing Stereotypes profiles this year, was on the judging panel. She told us:
‘It was honestly so difficult because all of the entries were FANTASTIC. It was extremely wholesome and inspiring to see these excellent posters. Thank you for inviting me to judge, it was a genuine pleasure!’

The winner of this year’s popular vote, which received the most ‘likes’ of all the runners-up on our Facebook page, was this brilliant poster by Eric of Upton Meadows Primary School.
