After hours spent inspecting hundreds of entries, the winners of the Oxford Mail's Design a Van competition have been chosen.

More than 300 people submitted ideas, with judges choosing designs by Felicity Hughes, 11, Amy Williams, 12, and Tom Reynolds,50.

The designs, all of which promote the Oxford Mail website oxfordmail.co.uk, will now go on our three new delivery vans.

Felicity, of Cardigan Street, Jericho, Oxford, who won the seven to 11 category, said: "It's amazing, I can't really believe it. When I told my mum and dad they were shocked."

The Leckford Place School pupil added: "I wanted to do something that was colourful and had things from Oxford in it."

Amy, who won the 12 to 18 category, worked on her entry during design classes at John Mason School, in Wootton Road, Abingdon.

She said: "Because the competition was to promote the website, I decided to include a computer in my design.

"I just hope it will look good on the van."

Freelance illustrator Mr Reynolds, of Woodstock Road, Witney, said he entered as a "bit of fun" and said his design was inspired by his son Nathan,15, who delivers the Oxford Mail.

Jo Coady, promotions executive for the Oxford Mail and one of the judges, said: "The standard of all the entries was fantastic and it made it very hard for us to decide on the winners. "

Runners-up were: Rebecca Mei-Ling Hack(7-11), Zanni Cohen (12-18), Sharon Hayes (Over 18).
