Warwickshire County Council’s Trading Standards and Fire and Rescue Services organise an annual competition to help keep children safe around fireworks.
Children are asked to design a poster or write a poem that will help warn children and young people about the dangers of fireworks.
Warwickshire County Councillor Andy Crump, Portfolio Holder for Community Safety said: "We've had some fantastic entries to this year's competition and I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate our winners and thank everyone for taking part."
"Many children love to watch fireworks, but it's important that they are kept safe. Warwickshire's Trading Standards and Fire and Rescue Services seek to keep children safe by helping to ensure that fireworks are stored safely, are not sold to young people under the age of 18 and that children are protected when they attend firework events."
Each winner will receive a £25 gift voucher and a visit to a fire station. Their poster or poem will also be used as part of the November 2019 campaign. The winners are:
