Restorative SCS Annual Pumpkin Competition Bigger and Better Than Ever!

It’s that time of year again! Halloween has been upon us, which can only mean one thing at Restorative SCS: the return of our much-loved Annual Pumpkin Competition!

Following the success of last year’s competition, we once again invited our young people from across our services to get creative and design their very own Halloween pumpkins.

This year, the competition was bigger and better than ever, with a brilliant 17 young people taking the time and care to paint, carve and decorate a pumpkin before submitting their finished creations.

And what an amazing collection of pumpkins we received!

The standard this year was fantastic. There were some incredibly creative, imaginative and brilliantly executed designs, and it was clear to see just how much time, thought and effort had gone into creating them. Every young person who took part should be incredibly proud of their finished pumpkin.

🏆 This Year’s Prizes

As with last year, there were some fantastic prizes up for grabs:

🥇 1st Prize – £50
🥈 2nd Prize – £25
🥉 3rd Prize – £15

But we wanted to make sure that everyone who took the time to get involved was recognised, so every young person who entered received a £10 voucher.

Choosing the winners certainly wasn’t easy!

The competition was independently judged by Pam at Head Office, who had the extremely difficult job of selecting our first, second and third-place pumpkins.

Pam said the decision was particularly difficult because all of the entries were brilliant, but eventually our three prize winners had to be chosen.

🎃 And the Winners Are…

As you can see from the photographs, we’ve proudly included our first, second and third-place pumpkins, alongside all the other amazing designs entered into this year’s competition.

However, while there could only be three overall prize winners, the real success was seeing 17 young people getting involved, being creative and having fun.

A massive well done to every single young person who entered. The imagination, creativity and effort on display this year were fantastic, and you certainly made judging the competition difficult!

A big thank you also goes to the staff who supported and encouraged our young people to get involved and helped make this year’s competition such a success.

We’re already looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with next year.

So, get your thinking caps on early… because the Restorative SCS Annual Pumpkin Competition will be back! 🎃👻

Well done, everyone!
