Paint, paint and more paint, plus brushes and other assorted supplies will be coming Levin Intermediate's way in huge quantities soon, because it has won the intermediate school section of Keep NZ Beautiful's Wall Worthy competition.
Wall Worthy is a nation-wide mural design competition. The school was one of two finalists in the intermediate schools section of the competition and art supplies to help realise the mural are part of the prize, courtesy of Resene.
Winning means the school gets supplied with all materials needed to paint their mural on the side of a school building. This will hopefully be in place by the end of term three. The winners of the competition were announced late last Friday.
Levin Intermediate School's art teacher Kelly Moore said she encouraged her students to enter the mural competition and that resulted in half a dozen submissions, from which the actual competition entry was chosen.
Designer of the winning mural design is 11-year-old Isabel Paroli, one of the school's Year 7 students.
