VEIHERE are only THREE days left before entries close for

weeks ago in conjunction with the Sunday Post-Herald Companions' Club.

The contest is for the best design of a poster for World Refugee Year, and prizes valued at a total of $150 will be offered for the best three contributions selected by the World Refugee Year appeal organisers. First prize will be $75, second $50, and third, $25. The poster will be featured during the WRY special appeal week early next month. The appeal aims to call on individuals to support the fund with whatever they can afford.

The paster must be illustrated and include a slogan in English and Chiness. Two examples are "Give that they may live" or "Your money for their lives,” but you are asked to make up one of your own.

It must be in black and white, or in not more than two

colours.

Entries must be received no later than May 3 and prize- winners will be announced on Saturday, May 7 in the China Mail and Sunday, May 8 in the Sunday Post- Herald.

In the event of entries not coming up to the desired standard, however, the organisers reserve the right not to gward the major cash prizes and in that event consolation prizes will be awarded for the three best entrics.
