The other regional winners were: Helensburgh and Lomond – Leah Rosenburgh, Cardross Primary School; Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands – Harry MacColl-Smith, Inveraray Primary School; Oban Lorn and the Isles – Amelia MacLean, Tobermory Primary School.
The council’s policy lead for education Yvonne McNeilly said: “Huge congratulations to Roxana on winning this very special competition and also to Leah, Harry and Amelia on becoming the regional winners in their local areas.
“We received more than 1,100 entries from across Argyll and Bute and they were all tremendous.
“Choosing the winners was a very difficult job because there were so very many wonderful designs. Everyone who entered should be very proud of themselves for helping Argyll and Bute to mark the Coronation of King Charles III – you are all incredible.
“Thanks also to all the teachers for supporting our young people to take part in the competition and for encouraging their creativity to shine.”
