Andrew O’Sullivan of Lyreco said: "We were delighted with the quality of the 2,500 entries in this year’s annual Lyreco schools design competition. We decided to produce an office calendar this year so that more of the pupils’ efforts could be showcased, rather than just one overall winner which we used to publish as the front page cover of our catalogue.
