The overall winners of this year’s main prize were pupils Darcy Sawey, St Jospeh’s Primary School, Carnacaville and Clara Doran, Newry High School..

As part of their prize both pupils’ designs, featuring the slogans “Say No 2 Plastic” and “Save Our Ocean. Stop Pollution”, will be displayed for two weeks in 2024 on billboards in Newry City and Downpatrick.

Runners up in the Junior section of the competition were Talia Lennon, St Patrick’s Primary School, Burrenreagh, Fiona Murray, St Bronagh’s Primary School, Rostrevor, Leah McEnteggart, Clonalig Primary School, Culloville, and Ruby Aiken, Glasswater Primary School, Crossgar. Secondary school runners up were Jane Keenan, Sacred Heart Grammar School, Newry; Aoife Kellett, Assumption Grammar School, Ballynahinch, St Louis Grammar School, Kilkeel and Maisie McFerran, Blackwater Integrated College, Downpatrick.
