Connexions is a new advice and guidance service especially for young people, all about giving young people the best start in life. It offers a range of guidance and support for 13 to 19 year olds, to help make the transition to adult life a smooth one, and provides guidance, advice and support to help with decisions about life, education and career choices.

The Connexions Youth Charter, written by and for young people, tells any young person who is using the Connexions service what they are entitled to, and what they can expect from the service. The challenge for the competition was to create a design which would complement the words of the Charter and make the Charter unique and noticeable.

Entries to the competition were received from all across the Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire regions, and were judged by a panel of Connexions staff and young people. The winning design was by a young person from Buckinghamshire, Claire Graham. The five runners up were Dominic Espinosa, Mark Agnew, Chris Giliberti, Marie Phipps and Louis Sheppard.

Thanks to all the young people from Oxfordshire who entered the competition: you can see some of their entries here.
