The Earthshot Prize is a global environmental prize and platform, founded by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales in 2020, designed to discover, accelerate, and scale ground-breaking solutions to repair and regenerate the planet.

Blue Peter’s Amazing Authors competition with The Reading Agency and BBC Arts is now finished, and we're so pleased to reveal Phoebe from Devon, who won the competition with her poem 'There's a Big Bad Wolf'!

Phoebe's winning entry has been turned into an animation by the legendary Aardman studios - the team behind shows like Shaun the Sheep and Wallace & Gromit and it even has orchestral music performed by the incredible BBC Philharmonic!

Watch Pheobe's animated story below.

Phoebe had such an amazing time behind the scenes at Aardman seeing her story come to life. One of her favourite parts was having a go at drawing on their computers!

Another highlight was meeting Tom Fletcher, here's what Phoebe had to say; "It was so exciting meeting Tom Fletcher too, as I'm such a big fan, and hearing him read my story was so surreal! I've had such an amazing and magical time!"

Phoebe's a Blue Peter superfan, and already has her Blue, Green and Purple badges. Winning the Amazing Authors Competition means she also becomes the proud owner of a Blue Peter competition winners Orange badge! 🧡

"I've always wanted to be an author and I can't believe that my story has been chosen to be made into a book and an animation - it's the best prize ever!" - Phoebe

Phoebe says she wants to be a writer when she grows up, and got to work behind the scenes with the Aardman animation team when they put her poem on to the big screen.

She used some of her acting skills for the main character - so the sighs and gasps you'll hear throughout are the author's own voice.

We're sure you'll agree, it was such an amazing experience!

Massive well done to everyone who entered, the level of entries was very high and you should be very proud to have taken part!
