Strip Competition Winners – 7th February 2012

We held a special event at Hampden Stadium, in association with Education Scotland and the Scottish Football Museum, where we announced the winners of the strip competition. On a great day, nearly all of the 30 shortlisted entrants came with parents and teachers, to hear Shona Robison MSP reveal the winners. The children then had their photo taken in the stadium and were given a tour of the museum. The final 4 winners (and 1 special commendation) are fantastic designs, and I can’t wait for them to be translated into real strips.
