Active Leeds Competition

We’re inviting children and young people across Leeds to get creative and celebrate their local leisure centres!

At Active Leeds, we believe our leisure centres are more than just places to swim or work out… they’re spaces where memories are MADE, friendships GROW, and confidence BUILDS. From learning to swim, to trying gymnastics for the first time, or simply spending time with friends, there are so many amazing experiences that happen every day in our centres.

Which brings us to our MADE IN LEEDS CAMPAIGN - celebrating how Active Leeds is MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERYDAY to everyone who walks through our doors. To celebrate and bring recognition to these special moments, we’re launching our CREATE competition!

We’re asking young people to share an experience they’ve had at their local leisure centre; through art, writing, animation, or any creative way they like. It could be a drawing of their swimming lesson, a collage of their favourite activity, or even a short animation showing what makes their centre special.

The winning creation will receive a £50 AMAZON GIFT VOUCHER and be FEATURED as part of our upcoming MADE IN LEEDS CAMPAIGN, seen right across the city!

We want to highlight the JOY, ENERGY and SENSE OF COMMUNITY that our centres bring to young people and their families, and who better to show that than the kids themselves?

Entries are open until 1 DECEMBER 2025, and we can’t wait to see your creations!

Simply send a photo or video of your entry to sport.webupdates@leeds.gov.uk.

Let’s celebrate the amazing experiences happening in our local leisure centres and inspire others to get active and creative!
