The Campaign for Drawing - Launched in 2000, The Campaign for Drawing promotes awareness of drawing’s power to make us see, think, invent and act.

The Campaign’s annual event in October is The Big Draw, a UK-wide celebration of drawings as a tool for thought, creativity, social and cultural engagement for everyone.

Get your school involved

Your school can change what we all do. Choose a classmate to be an 'Energy Monitor' - your very own Standby Sally ! This way you can show that your school is doing its very best to help bring about a permanent habit change in energy usage. And you can do the same at home ..... Standby Saturday is about the future and that's where you all come in!

Click here for a 'WHAT TO DO NOW' letter for your school ... and here's a leaflet for you to print out and give away.

In association with The Big Draw and the Royal Academy of Engineering, here are three things your school can do to get involved in the Standby Saturday national event.

1. Teachers and Parents - Get everyone drawing!
A picture can be a brilliant way to raise awareness and remind people about switching off. So why not encourage pupils to design eye-catching posters for a school notice board or a window at home to support the Standby Saturday event?

Download your poster frame here.


The theme for the drawings should be: 'I don't waste energy because...' or 'Switch Off overnight, every night' or 'Shape the Future - Designing for Sustainability' across various ages streams. See details in the gallery.

2. Enter the Poster Competition
If you would like to enter the Standby Saturday Poster Competition, scan your best poster drawings and email them to us. We'll put them up in the Standby Saturday virtual gallery, so lots more people will see them! Send your drawings by Saturday 13th October 2007 to thebigdraw@standbysaturday.com to enter for prizes as detailed below.

Don't forget to also put the posters in the window to ensure your school displays it's participation towards environmental improvement & positive habit change against global warming.

The Royal Academy of Engineering...
...has chosen Standby Saturday as a competition centre awarding prizes to the best entries for ages 10's and under, 11-17 and 18's and over.

Prizes include K-Nex, MP3 players & a digital camera !

3. Students - Start waste-busting!
Show that you care about our planet by encouraging teachers, head teachers and classroom assistants to switch off standby power buttons in classrooms at the end of the day. Ask about becoming a student 'Energy Monitor' for your class or school & ask your school to register with Standby Saturday for hints & tips to help you with your important responsibilities.

If you find someone who's a 'waster' you could report them to 'Standby Sally' featured below. Wasters will be contacted!!
