At Red Lane, the Mayor answered questions from the children, and complimented them on their collage board, which used feathers, glitter and photos of carnival dancers who had visited the school.鈥听

Year 9 secondary school students were asked to draw a carnival inspired costume. The Mayor chose her f听avourite听design, and art and design students from Lutube视频 created two spectacular costumes that also took pride of place at the ball.听

Lauren Walker-Grayson鈥檚 design, from Canon Slade, was chosen by the Mayor as the winner, whilst Izzy Dzulkifli from Westhoughton High School was chosen by Lutube视频 as runner-up. Both costumes were transported to the respective schools for the students to see their winning designs realised.听

Lauren, who received a 拢50 voucher, said 鈥業 was excited about meeting the Mayor and seeing my costume design brought to life. I鈥檓 still deciding what to buy with my voucher!鈥听

Izzy was equally impressed and said, 鈥業 took inspiration from the birds of Rio. I think the costume conveys my idea really well. I love the colours and my favourite part is the headdress, it鈥檚 so vibrant!鈥听
