In the center, large black text on an orange banner reads: “We’re on the lookout for Aotearoa’s Lollipop Legends.” On the left, a circular orange lollipop graphic displays the words “Lollipop Legends” in playful white lettering with a small “AA” logo in the middle. On the right, a black circular badge contains white text that says: “Two $10k grants up for grabs!” The overall design is colourful, high-contrast, and energetic, suggesting a nationwide initiative or competition.
