The idea of the poster competition was to get a picture that we could use as a means to promote the Appraisal Questionnaire. We wanted an image that represented the village and decided to engage the children of the community in the appraisal and thus get them involved. 

All of the contestants' work will be placed into a "Time Capsule", which it is proposed to bury under Buckland Green with a stone laid to commemorate the Appraisal Questionnaire and Plan, later in the year.   We managed to get a large number of the local children involved with the competition and they each painted a picture of Buckland to be used as the basis for a poster.

We had a total of 48 pictures submitted most of which were painted at a workshop that was held in January 2002. All of the pictures were then broken down into a number of age categories (Under 5s, 5-7, 7-9, 9-11, over 11s) and were judged by members of the Dorking Group of Artists.

A finalist from each section was chosen and then an ultimate winner overall (see hyperlink to view all of the posters that where involved as well as the section finalists and the overall winner). The overall winner is used in the poster advertising the Appraisal Questionnaire.  Each of the finalists received a small prize as well as the overall winner, with all entries receiving a certificate to remind them of the event. We have also posted some photos from the presentation done in February 2002 and from the January workshop.
