Winners have been chosen by Lincolnshire Co-operative after a competition to design the new Fairtrade tea towels.
As part of Lincolnshire Co-op’s 150th birthday a competition, The Fairtrade Challenge, was set up, inviting youngsters to design their own Fairtrade tea towels.
Out of a total of 1,100 entries, there were a number of winning entries from different schools around Lincolnshire.
The winners are Isabella Ward (10), Millie Inman (9), Ruby Dixon (5), Abigail Taylor (11) and Charlotte Aukland.
Lincolnshire Co-op representatives have been visiting the schools recently to make presentations to the winning students.
The winning designs will be selected for use on tea towels that can be purchased from Co-op stores.
The students also receive certificates from the Society’s representatives for their achievement.
The Fairtrade Challenge is just one of a number of Society initiatives that were held during Fairtrade Fortnight, which ran from February 28 until March 13.
As the tea towels are Fairtrade, most of the profit from sales will go to the farmers.
The Society has been in support of the organisation since its inception in 1994 and has made it a priority to get the label into mainstream retail.
The Fairtrade tea towels will go on sale in all Co-op stores later this year.

Villagers in Fiskerton remain cautious yet optimistic in the face of potential flooding, a month after they were advised to evacuate following a considerable amount of rainfall.
Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
