It will be shown at the opening of Inverdee House, SEPA's new office in Aberdeen, on 10 May and across Scotland at SEPA events to help raise flood awareness.

Scotstown primary Head teacher, Caroline Bain, said: We are absolutely delighted for the children who worked extremely hard throughout the whole animation project. It was a complex process and the children worked tirelessly throughout, from script writing to filming and editing. 


We are very proud of them and that their efforts and skills have been rewarded by winning the competition."

Ninety schools from across Aberdeenshire were invited to take part in the competition in which the schoolchildren were encouraged to use their multimedia skills to help raise awareness of flooding and the impact it can have on people’s lives. 

Entries were judged by a panel of SEPA staff, along with Helen Jackson of Binary Fable , a recent runner up in the BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award.

Helen Jackson, of Binary Fable, (right) said: "It was a delight to judge this competition. The entries covered a wide range of art forms and all were extremely creative, informative and entertaining. It was a real challenge to pick a winner. Congratulations to all the pupils involved and to SEPA for finding a really effective way of communicating about flood awareness."



Kenneth Ross, Hydrologist with SEPA, said: "As many residents and businesses in Aberdeenshire know, flooding is a real threat, and as Scotland's flood warning authority, it is important that SEPA uses all available means in communicating and raising awareness of flood risk."

This competition was an ideal way of doing this, whilst also involving young people. 

Scotstown Primary also received an Amazon voucher of £100.
