Wanted:  eye-catching logo for Alderney Week 2010 theme “HISTORY MAKERS” 

 

The theme for Alderney Week 2010 has been announced. This year, it’s “ History Makers” and, with just five months to go until the start of Alderney Week  (Saturday 31 July),  the Alderney Week Team needs an eye-catching logo.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Alderney Week Team is again challenging all youngsters under the age of 18 to enter the annual design-a-logo competition for Alderney Week.

This year’s theme “History Makers” offers a great scope of different interpretations, as Alderney Week Team Leader Ronnie Cairnduff points out : “From 31 July to 8 August, the little island of Alderney will become the universal show case for the world’s  history makers , history breakers and trendsetters.”

“History Makers can be people or characters, both real and fictitious , from  kings, queens and emperors to  legendary heroes who shaped the history of the world. Perhaps you should pop into the Alderney Museum where you might discover Alderney’s very own history makers.”

 

 “Or think of  History Makers who have shaped the history of music, from classical to pop  and that of course includes famous performers who made history in their own right. History Makers could be trendsetters in fashion, like the Hippies or Punks. You’ll find History Makers in the entertainment world where films , TV programmes and stars made history..  Or how about events and happenings  that changed our history, like the first moon landing, famous buildings, landmarks, and amazing technological breakthroughs  such as  Concorde or spaceships. In short, History Makers is  anything or anybody who has made history or has been a history breaker.”

 

 “On Cavalcade Day and throughout Alderney Week History Makers will be apparent and we need an eye-catching logo and mascot that encapsulates the theme  “History Makers”.  The logo has got to be original and has to be your own creation. We won’t consider designs which have simply been downloaded from the internet, nor can we accept cut-and-paste  ClipArt cartoons”, said Ronnie Cairnduff.

 

The logo should be a maximum size of 15cm x 15cm.  The winning design will feature on the programme, the T-shirts, baseball caps, posters and any other promotional material. There will an excellent prize for the winner and good prizes for the 9 runners-up.

 

Competition details and entry forms are now available from the Alderney Centre, Victoria Street , at St. Anne’s School and at Ormer House or via e-mail from info@alderneyweek.net.  

 

Closing date for the competition is  Friday  16  April 5pm.

The judging panel includes the editors of the Alderney Press and the Alderney Journal. The results and winning entries will be announced in both publications after the prize presentation the following week.
