It could be a futuristic house, an exciting job in a new industry sector or a radical new mode of transport to get around.
Lorraine Lindsay-Gale, the county council’s cabinet member for education and cultural services, urged pupils to show off their creative skills.

She said: “Imagine what an exciting world we’ll be living in by 2050. Driverless cars could be a standard mode of transport and children might be whizzing about on hoverboards.
“Robots could be helping to keep our homes tidy and all sorts of futuristic buildings will have sprouted up in towns and villages across the county.
“I’d urge children to let their imaginations run wild.”
The winner chosen by an independent judge will win £20 of book tokens and have their drawing published in the final Plan.
Entries should then be posted to: My Oxfordshire in 2050 competition, Oxfordshire Plan 2050 Team, Speedwell House, Speedwell St, Oxford OX1 1NE.
The deadline is Friday, April 26.
