Children and young people from naval families in Helensburgh and Lomond are being  invited to create a masterpiece from recycling.

The Art from Waste competition invites naval children and young people to turn everyday waste materials into extraordinary works of art.

This is an opportunity for children to showcase how sustainability and a little creativity can produce treasures from trash.

Any art technique is welcome from painting, sculpture, textiles, or collages, as long as recycled materials are used.

There are three age categories: 0-6 years, 7-12 years and 13 years plus, and different Amazon gift card vouchers for prizes.

The first prize winner will get a £100 gift card, with the second prize winner getting a £50 card and the third prize winner one for £20.

Entries, which cannot be returned, should be sent to The Family Hub, Churchill Square, Helensburgh, G84 9HN.

The closing date for the competition is September 2.
