Enter contest to show you care about animals
This competition is for all creative pupils with a love for animals.
Primary School pupils are encouraged to show their support for the welfare of animals by entering the Animal Anti-Cruelty League’s (AACL) 2016 School Poster Competition.
To enter, primary school pupils have to create posters and/or pictures depicting ways in which humans are compassionate and kind towards animals and how they care for/ affect these animals’ lives in a positive manner. The poster must be a picture with a message and it can include a slogan or title which may also help in making the message clear.
Pupils are welcome to use any medium such as paint, pastel, ink and crayon among many others. Paper size must be either A2 or A3. The picture should be kept bold, striking and original. Pupils can enter as many times as they like, but are encouraged to send a R10 donation with each entry. All money will be used by the AACL in their work of caring for and protecting animals.
