POSTER
COMPETITION 520 young artists entered the competition to create posters depicting
the Fairtrade message and celebration of Horsham’s 5th anniversary as a Fairtrade town.
The
posters were superb giving the 3 judges; a journalist, a district councillor, and a local artist, a very tough task to choose
the first, second, and third place for each of the 4 age groups.
The prize giving will be at the
YMCA on July 10th during the Horsham Fairtrade 5 year celebration tea and cake party from 3pm to 5pm.
In summary, the remit
for the posters was:
"Many children around the world are deprived of their childhoods and have to work because they
live in extreme poverty with poor food, no health care and no chance to go to school because of the effect of unfair trade
rules on their family. By buying Fairtrade goods we can vastly increase the family income and break this
cycle of despair for children. The growth in Fairtrade has meant that more can be helped and this growth
has been attributed to the local campaigning around the country of the Fairtrade towns"
Horsham will have been a certificated Fairtrade
town for 5 years in July 2010 and to celebrate this we launched a competition for young people asking them to produce a poster
that links Horsham and Fairtrade with a celebratory theme, perhaps looking at the growth of Fairtrade during that time.

anniversary. £25 Prizes are offered for these four first-place winners. It is also
hoped to display as many of the entry posters as possible in Central Horsham during July 2010. The winners
will also receive a prize and all entrants will receive a bar of Fairtrade chocolate. There will be a panel
of 3 judges including a member of staff from the County Times. The County Times will be publicising the
outcome of the competition. There are four different age categories in the competition for 5-7 year olds, 7- 11
year olds, 12 - 14 year olds and 15 - 19 year olds.
