"Phoebe has beautiful mature art skills and to be recognised for her artistic talents on such a large scale at this young age is high praise indeed.

"My congratulations go to Phoebe and Lilly for their hard work and original creative ideas."

Lift Tendring students were invited to design a cover around the theme ‘our communities - our show’, celebrating communities in the countryside, education, family, livestock and sports.

Tom Burt, principal at Lift Tendring, said: "We are incredibly proud of Phoebe and Lilly.

"Their designs are amazing and we are absolutely delighted that so many people will be able to appreciate their art work.

"We are so proud of their creativity, hard work and talent and cannot wait to see their art at the Tendring Show."

The Tendring Show takes place at Lawford House Park, Manningtree on Saturday, July 11.

It is expected to attract around 18,000 visitors and will feature livestock displays, a food pavilion, trade stands and a new apprenticeship zone.
