NORTH DISTRICT LOGO DESIGN COMPETITION

****

NORTH DISTRICT OF THE NEW TERRITORIES ADMINISTRATION IS ANXIOUS TO HAVE ITS OWN LOGO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND IS CALLING ON HONG KONG'S DESIGNERS TO ENTER A COMPETITION WITH A $1 500 PRIZE.

THE DISTRICT COVERS THE BORDER AREA AND INCLUDES THE TOWNS OF SHA TAU KOK, SHEUNG SHUI, SHEK WU HUI AND FANLING.

IT WAS FORMERLY PART OF TAI PO DISTRICT, BUT BECAME A SEPARATE DISTRICT LAST OCTOBER BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO STREAMLINE GOVERNMENT SERVICES TO A GROWING POPULATION.

A SPOKESMAN FOR NORTH DISTRICT OFFICE SAID THE LOGO WOULD BE WIDELY USED, APPEARING ON LETTERHEADS, BANNERS AND SPORTS SHIRTS,

DESIGN SHOULD BE BASED ON THE CHINESE CHARACTER FOR NORTH AND BE RESTRICTED TO TWO COLOURS,

BESIDES A WINNER'S PRIZE, THERE WILL BE THREE RUNNERS UP WHO WILL RECEIVE $200 EACH.

ENTRIES SHOULD BE SENT TO NORTH DISTRICT OFFICE OR SHEUNG SHUI PUBLIC ENQUIRY CENTRE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 3.
