The Scottish Qualifications Authority and the Scottish Football Association have joined forces once again to promote their annual anti-racism competition, Show Racism the Red Card. Pupils and students across Scotland are asked to produce a creative piece of work that promotes messages of anti-racism or anti-sectarianism. The concept is simple, come up with a piece of creative work that gets across loud and clear the message that racism and sectarianism are not welcome in Scotland. The competition has been running since 2003 and thousands of pupils from all over Scotland have entered the competition. The competition culminates with a prize giving ceremony at Hampden Park with celebrities from the football world on hand to meet the winners.
