The Animal Anti-Cruelty League<\/a>\u2019s (AACL) annual school poster competition is back.<\/p>\n

This year Animaltalk is a sponsor of the competition, which is an educational campaign to promote animal welfare through the medium of art.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

To enter, children have to create posters in which people show compassion and kindness to animals, care for and show how humans can affect animals lives in a positive way.<\/p>\n

Children who wish to enter the competition must remember that the poster must not just be a pretty picture, but a picture with a message.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

A slogan or title may also contribute towards making the message clear.<\/p>\n

There is no limit to the number of times a child can enter; all that is requested is that a donation is made to the AACL with each entry.<\/p>\n

All donations will be used by the league in caring for and protecting animals.<\/p>\n

Children may use any medium, for example, paint, pastel, ink, crayon, etc., to create their bold, striking and original A2 or A3 sized poster.<\/p>\n

Entrants must remember to write their name, surname, age, grade, the category they wish to enter and their school\u2019s name and email address on the back of their posters.<\/p>\n

The finalists\u2019 posters will be displayed on the AACL Facebook page, where the prize winners will also be announced.<\/p>\n

Posters can be posted to the AACL at PO Box 7, Rosettenville, 2130, or dropped off at the AACL\u2019s offices at 59 Alice Street, Regents Park, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

The closing date for the competition is October 31. For more information call 011 435-0672.<\/p>\n
