Seal Of Approval: Win breakfast with seals in kids design competition

The Yorkshire Coast Business Improvement District (YCBID) and SEA LIFE at Scarborough have partnered to launch the competition open to children across the county as part of its 100 Protect Pledge initiative.

The challenge is for coastal creatives, aged under-16, to design a brand-new seal mascot for the BID’s Seal of Approval campaign, which honours coastal businesses who take into account environmental considerations.

ENTER HERE: Running now until the October 18, see terms and conditions below, entries must be submitted online at https://bit.ly/3Qg2Nm0.

Not only will the winning design be used to front the Seal of Approval campaign, as part of the 100 Protect Pledge, but the winner will also receive a VIP experience featuring Breakfast with the Seals at SEA LIFE Scarborough.

The YCBID 100 Protect Pledge is a commitment to 100 pledges that will protect the coastal beauty and preserve it for the future, ensuring that it continues to thrive for future generations to enjoy.

Speaking of the partnership with SEA LIFE and upcoming activity, Chair Clive Rowe-Evans said: “This is one of the exciting next steps in our 100 Protect Pledge and we’re delighted to be partnering with SEA LIFE, whose work in the region truly supports our mission.

"The Seal of Approval will not only bring attention to these amazing local animals, but it will also help support businesses to become greener acting as a symbol of good environmental practice.”

Andy Turner, General Manager at SEA LIFE Scarborough, added: “We are home to Yorkshire's only Seal Hospital which works to rescue, rehabilitate and eventually release back into the wild these beautiful creatures. We look forward to welcoming our lucky winner for a very special breakfast with the seals!”
