OXFORD Bus Company has launched its annual Brand the Bus competition – for a local charity or good cause to have its branding on a double-decker.

Entries are now open for good causes, or its supporters, to submit a short video or PDF presentation on why it should win the Brand the Bus competition in their unique livery.

The winner will be in good company among the growing fleet of buses branded with good causes. Girl Guiding Oxfordshire won the inaugural 2019 Brand the Bus competition, Home-Start Oxford scooped first place in 2020 and Blue Skye Thinking won the 2021 contest. Abingdon Riding for the Disabled Association was also awarded the space on the back of a bus as runners up in the 2021 competition.

The 10 entries for 2022 that are deemed best according to a public vote will be shortlisted and examined by a judging panel.

Phil Southall, Oxford Bus Company managing director, said: “Our Brand the Bus competition has become a mainstay in our community and provides excellent support to deserving good causes.

The deadline for Brand the Bus entries September 30.
