STUDENT Rebecca Carter has won a prize in the Cats Protection's national catwalk T-shirt design competition.

Rebecca received a £100 cheque as a runner-up and her school, Chesham High, was awarded £300 for her eye-catching design.

The 14-year-old's winning creation will be made into a T-shirt and modelled at Cats Protection's celebrity fashion parade to be held in London next year.

The competition attracted more than 850 high quality entries.

Derek Conway, chief executive of Cats Protection, said: "We were extremely impressed with the creativity and thought that had gone into Rebecca's design."

He added: "We are confident that it will be instrumental in raising awareness about feline issues among young and old alike."
