MERSEYSIDE Police are running an art competition for young people to support Black History Month.
The annual event aims to create pride in black contributions to British society and foster an understanding of black history.
The theme of the competition is “Black Heroes and Role Models”.
It is open to all young people, up to the age of 17 years, who either live in or attend school or college in Merseyside and there are three age groups – up to seven, eight to 11 and also 12 to 17.
Barry Bright, from Merseyside Police’s Positive Action Team, said: “The aim of Black History Month is to promote knowledge and understanding of black history.
