SCHOOLCHILDREN are being given a chance to show their artistic side in a Tour de France poster competition launched by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.

Youngsters in schools within the national park can win £50 of tokens donated by Leyburn Bikes and £100 for their class.

The competition is open to pupils between the ages of five and 16, and the closing date for entries is April 4.
