Enter our poster competition to win top prizes for you and your school
Drax Power Station is celebrating 50 years of generating electricity and providing for its communities. To celebrate this milestone, we would like you to design a graphic poster to attract the ‘energy employee of the future’.
Get inspired
We’re looking for a futuristic poster design that will attract people to want to get a job in the energy industry.
Successful designs will think about:
- What does the power station of the future look like?
- What kind of jobs will be needed in the energy industry in the future?
- How will people work alongside new technology like artificial intelligence?
- What skills will workers need?
- In the future, what will look the same as it does now, and what will look different?
