There were over 600 entries to the competition and the winner from each keystage received a book token and their winner entry will be professionally produced and distributed to schools, children's centres and health care settings. Every entrant's bookmark was laminated and returned with a letter of encouragement asking them to use the bookmark at home for reading and also to share the health messages with their parents - thus promoting smoke free homes and reading.
