Vote and Win in Great Scots Schools Week! 26th-30th Nov

Primary school children from Shetland to Selkirk are gearing up to make their mark on history when they place their votes in the Great Scots Schools Week initiative. This unique event is part of the largest online vote of its kind - first past the post were pupils from Queensferry Primary, who placed their votes at the Schools Week launch on 20th November. Primary School children across the country are invited to take part in the event, which promises some exciting results! Voting will start on Monday 26th November and culminate on St Andrew’s Day. Cast your vote at greatscots.scran.com.

All pupils and schools taking part in the Great Scots Schools Week poll will be automatically entered into a prize draw. The winning school will be presented with a limited edition print of the updated Frieze of Scots and six tickets for the unveiling ceremony next April. And one lucky pupil will win a £50 book voucher from James Thin Bookseller.

The Schools Week is being organized by ICL Scotland and the Scottish Cultural Resources Access Network (Scran). This special event is part of the wider Great Scots Poll, which aims to identify the 100 greatest Scots of the last century through a public vote. The polls close at midnight on 31st January and the nation’s Great Scots will be announced in April 2002.
