SCHOOLGIRL Amy Hudson’s artistic talent has bagged her a big prize in a competition organised by St Helens Tesco store to tell customers about a new online shopping service.

Amy, aged nine, of Holy Cross Primary School, won £250 for the school and a £25 Tesco gift card for herself.

The best prize of all was seeing the winning art work printed on 250 reusable jute shopping bags, which will now be distributed free to parents and children at the winning school.

Young Amy, accompanied by classmates, family and school staff, visited the Click & Collect unit at Tesco Extra St Helens to pick up their prize.

Schoolchildren had been asked by the tesco.com team to design an eye-catching picture to go alongside the Click & Collect design to promote the new service, in which shoppers can order groceries online and arrange to pick them up in the store at a time to suit them.

The in-store collection service is the first of its kind in St Helens, and Amy’s entry was chosen by judges for its colour, impact, sense of fun and style.
