Help shape the future of Fairtrade with design competition

The Forum is inviting individuals aged 18 and under to create a brand-new logo that will represent its efforts in promoting ethical shopping and supporting producers in developing countries.

The winning design will be showcased on all the Forum's banners and promotional materials, helping to spread the message of fairtrade throughout the community.

Pam Robinson, Chair of the Montrose Fairtrade Forum, commented: "This competition allows young people to get creative while learning about the importance of Fairtrade. The winning logo will be a vibrant symbol of our mission to promote fairness and sustainability in shopping, while also celebrating Montrose."
