Liverpool, Wednesday 03 July: Mersey Ferries has announced the winner of their #MyMerseyFerry schools’ competition. Elorm Nutekpor, aged nine from Broad Oak Primary School in Preston had the winning entry and was presented with her prize by Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram at the Pier Head Ferry Terminal.
Students across the North West were asked to create an original and unique poster design featuring Mersey Ferries world famous Dazzle Ship. The poster needed to be inspired by the words ‘Great Days Out’ and show families that they can have an amazing and memorable day out on the Mersey Ferry.
Elorm’s design will be featured as a poster on the iconic Mersey Ferries and at all Ferry Terminals this summer. Elorm along with her classmates were also treated to a VIP cruise on-board the famous Dazzle Ferry.
