14-year-old Lara Stanford has won the competition to design the cover of Sure's telephone directory for 2021/22.
The winning artwork will be displayed on more than 35,000 copies of the directory.
Lara, who is a student at Blanchelande College, was one of 150 entrants. Sure said her entry stood out thanks to her colourful hand-drawn submission, which included a map of Guernsey surrounded by a range of sports including swimming, cycling and karate.
As well as being featured on the cover of the directory, Lara has won £500 for her school to spend on sports and arts equipment.
“I am extremely excited to see my artwork in print – I can’t believe it’ll be featured on 35,000 copies of the telephone directory," said the 14-year-old.
"I’m starting my art GCSE next year and both art and sports play a large part in my day-to-day life. At school, I really enjoy playing netball and have recently started karate, so I made sure to include these sports in my artwork.”

Young people aged 5-18 were invited to design a piece of artwork based on wellbeing, fitness and sport in the Bailiwick for the 2021/22 telephone directory.
“We are extremely grateful to everyone that entered and were blown away by the quality of entries," said Justin Bellinger, Chief Executive at Sure Guernsey.
"Lara’s entry stood out to us as she included a range of sports that our colleagues play while still including a local element. We’re looking forward to distributing the next directory across the island later this year with the new cover.”
The Sure 2021/22 telephone directory is expected to be issued in November 2021. It will be available for collection at Sure's high street store, local businesses and supermarkets.
