* The winning design for the summer fete flyer.
Llangollen Summer Fete made a successful return in 2024 five years after closing down in 2019 due to the pandemic.
This year's event will return on Saturday June 7 and a competition to design the flyer was run with Year 6 pupils from local junior schools Ysgol Bryn Collen and Ysgol Gymraeg Y Gwernant.
The children, aged nine to 10 years old, submitted their entries and a winner has been chosen whose design will now go into print.
The panel of judges from the Summer Fete Committee had to do choose a single winner in stages.
The flyer will be delivered to all houses in Llangollen as well as being posted to noticeboards in surrounding areas.
All the other entries will also then be laminated and form The Treasure Hunt around the fete site on the day.
For anyone wondering who the winner of the competition was, they should look out for the flyer coming through your door, says a spokesperson for the committee.
They added: "This year we wanted to include and involve the young people of our town in the fete in a meaningful way and that's why we came up with this idea to run the competition.
"The entries we received were so excellent that it was a really difficult process to choose a single winner because they were all so creative and clever - it was such a delight to see all the designs that we've decided the whole town must see them all and have the opportunity to enjoy and celebrate the work of our junior designers too.
"We'd really like to thank The Cornmill for sponsoring all the costs of the competition and The Treasure Hunt, as without their generosity we couldn't celebrate the work of our young people in this manner. We hope to see all the locals from the valley at the fete as this is for our community.
"The committee have also involved young people in other ways and we'll post more about that and the fete in the coming days and weeks in the lead-up to the big day."
