Young eco-friendly artists have been awarded for their work at a special ceremony.
The Eco Art Awards were held at the Harlequin Theatre, in Redhill, to celebrate the talents of pupils from across the borough.
Primary and infant school pupils had been invited to take part in the Eco Art competition, organised by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council and Horley Town Council.
The young artists were asked to show an awareness of environmental issues in their artwork through a theme of environment and ecology.
Mayor of Reigate and Banstead, Cllr Brian Stead, and Mayor of Horley Town Council, Cllr Simon Marshall, awarded first, second and third prizes for each school, with certificates and monetary prizes. Five schools were also picked from a draw to receive water butts donated by Sutton and East Surrey Water.
Cllr Allen Kay, executive member for clean communities, said: “The pupils’ artwork was scored on its eco message and artistry.
“The posters entered were so good right across the board that our judges had great difficulty in awarding the top three places for each school. Congratulations to the schools and pupils for their splendid efforts.”
Pupils from Meath Green Junior School, in Horley, were so impressed with all the artwork in the competition, they decided to create a long lasting tribute.
They spent a day painting all the best pictures from the competition onto one of their school building walls to create a 15-metre mural of eco art.
All the competition artwork has also been made into a calendar and the schools who took part have been given 50 free copies that they can sell to raise funds.
