YOUNGSTERS can enter our fantastic competition in honour of our Olympic hero Jason Kenny.

We are asking for the borough’s artistic schoolchildren to draw a picture of the Farnworth Flyer – and the two best will each be presented with a new bicycle courtesy of Decathlon.

As well as this fabulous prize, the winners will collect £100 worth of Gourmet Burger Kitchen vouchers each and have their drawings put on display in Bolton Library.

Jason cemented his status as a Bolton hero after grabbing three more gold medals at the Rio Olympics and taking his lifetime haul so far to six.

Bolton News Group Editor Ian Savage said: “Jason Kenny is a true Bolton hero. He is a sporting superstar and the fact he is from Farnworth makes him our sporting superstar.

“This competition is a chance for the young people of Bolton to pay their own tributes to the Farnworth Flyer.”

A selection of the best pictures will be printed in a special Bolton News supplement on November 3. Your picture can be drawn using paints, coloured pencils or felt-tip pens.

You could perhaps draw Jason on his bicycle, with his fiancé Laura or with his haul of medals.

To enter, all you need to do is draw your Jason Kenny picture on the template which you can print off by clicking here new jason template.pdf

Once you have finished your picture, fill in the details on the form and send it to Jason Kenny competition, Editorial Department, The Bolton News, The Wellsprings, Civic Centre, Bolton BL1 1AR. Please include your name, age, address and telephone number.

The competition is open to all primary and secondary school pupils in Bolton and the deadline for sending in pictures is Friday, October 14.

A panel of judges – including Ian Savage and Bolton Council leaders – will choose the winners. One winner will be from a primary school and another from a secondary.

They will each win a bicycle from Bolton sports superstore Decathlon, which is sponsoring the competition.

How should Bolton honour Olympic sensation Jason Kenny?

That’s the question Bolton Council and the Bolton News are asking today — and we want you to help us find the answer.

The council is planning a permanent tribute to Jason and is asking readers for their suggestions as to what that should be.

Will it be based in Bolton town centre or Farnworth — Jason’s hometown? These are some of the questions we need answering. To put your suggestions forward, log on to the council website at bolton.gov.uk/JasonKenny and fill in the attached form.

Cllr Cliff Morris, leader of Bolton Council, said: “Jason is a Bolton lad through and through, a real inspiration and we couldn’t be more proud of his sporting achievements. So who better than the people of Bolton to suggest a fitting accolade. I am really looking forward to hearing your ideas.”

The deadline for suggestions and ideas is Friday October 14. A panel of judges will look at each idea and come up with a final decision as to what form the tribute should take. The Bolton News and Bolton Council will give regular updates on the ideas suggested.
