Artwork by 11-year-old Valerija Podberiozkina from Spalding has been selected from hundreds of submissions to a recent children’s drawing competition, and is being used in 101 local shops, to promote Lincolnshire Co-op’s free fruit scheme.
The scheme allows children that are linked to an adult member’s account to pick up either a Gala apple, banana, or orange for free on each day during selected school holidays.
It will run until Saturday, September 5.
Valerija’s design will be included on a host of material.
To celebrate her achievement, she was invited into Wygate Park Food Store in Spalding, to see her design in place and receive a prize.
Valerija said: “I was so surprised and happy when I found out that I had won, and seeing my drawings in the shop is amazing!
“I love to ride my bike or walk to the shop, and being able to pick up a piece of yummy fruit for free when you get there makes it even better.”
