Today ACT Chief Minister and Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Katy Gallagher urged young Canberrans to enter ACTION’s ‘Draw for the Future’ competition. Where they have to design their own interpretation of the ultimate environmentally friendly bus and explain, in a few words, why sustainability is important to them.
“The artwork of each winning entry will decorate the inside panel of an ACTION bus for 12 months. An overall winner will also be selected and Canberrans will see their artwork on the back of an ACTION bus,” the Chief Minister said.
Nick Dean one of the winners from last year’s competition “It was really cool to have everyone see my drawing. I also felt good because I was encouraging more people to take the bus to help save the environment.”
