CREATIVE children have used their drawing and colouring skills to win a host of vouchers and have their picture featured on the back of a Tesco van.

To celebrate Diwali this year, the Harrow Times teamed up with Tesco to give three lucky readers the chance to win Tesco gift cards and help them celebrate this important festival in style.

Tesco will be visiting 11 Temples across London at the start of Diwali which starts on Wednesday, November 11 this year, to deliver a host of products including rice, oil, flour and drinks to help those in need enjoy the festival of lights.

Readers aged 12 and under were invited to come up with a creative design to cover the back of a Tesco van

The winning design has been enlarged and printed on the back of the dot com van by Tesco with the winning designer Vina Kalidas, 12, receiving £200 in Tesco gift cards.

Father Bhikku Kalidas said: “She was very pleased to win when she heard. Our younger son, who is nine, was saddened as he entered too but he was very happy that his sister had won it instead.”

There were also two runner up prizes of £100 and £50 in Tesco gift cards which went to Ipsa Ansari and Niva Thakrar respectively to spend on their Diwali festivities.
