The countdown has begun for the Animal Anti-Cruelty League’s annual poster competition. All primary school pupils are invited to show their support for the welfare of animals by entering the competition. Pupils will have to create posters/ pictures depicting ways in which people show compassion and kindness to animals, and care for, and affect their lives in positive ways. This poster must not just be a pretty picture, but a picture with a message. A slogan or title may also help to make the message clear.
You can enter as many times as you like, but please send a R10 donation with each of your entries.
All money will be used by the Animal Anti-Cruelty League in their work of caring and protecting animals. For banking information, please contact 011 435 0672.
