Show Racism the Red Card Anti-Racist School Competition 2009

• Closing Date: 27th February 2009
• Open to English Schools

Show Racism the Red Card is an anti-racist charity, which specialises in producing educational resources, including films, education packs, magazines and posters. The aim of the campaign is to combat racism through the use of footballers as anti-racist role models and SRtRC is fortunate to have the backing of many top managers and players.

This is the ninth successive year the campaign has organised an anti-racist school competition and it has proved to be an extremely useful way of engaging young peoples’ interest in anti-racism.

The Show Racism the Red Card Anti-Racist School Competition 2008 saw 570 schools take part throughout England, with an estimated 70,000 pupils of different ages and abilities producing anti-racist themed artwork, creative writing, films and music. The Prize Giving Ceremony for the 2008 Competition took place at the Emirates Stadium, London. All prize winners from England attended and received their prizes which included an England Shirt, ball and cap, signed shirts and balls from professional football clubs, match tickets and certificates. Current and former professional footballers attended to give out the prizes including England players Theo Walcott and Faye White.

SRtRC will organise a similarly prestigious Prize Giving Event for the winners of the 2009 competition. To enter click here to download a printable PDF Competition Pack, containing full rules and an entry form.
