Catriona Rae, Senior Education and Learning Officer at Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “Every year we are blown away by the amazing entries we receive from young people all over Scotland who show just how passionate they are about environmental issues through writing, photography and videos.
“It’s never easy to select a winner out of such brilliant submissions and the wider Keep Scotland Beautiful team all cast their votes to choose who deserved the top prize.
“I’d like to congratulate the Renfrewshire Climate Champions – as well as all our other winners and entrants – for their fantastic pieces. We have been running this competition for a number of years now and it’s amazing to see such continued passion and enthusiasm from young people all over the country.”
