Children's Postcard Competition
A competition has been launched to design the official postcard for the European Year of Disabled People in 2003. The European Commission, which is organising the Year in close co-operation with the European Disability Forum, is asking young people aged between 10-15 to illustrate the changes they would make to ensure disabled people get a fairer deal. The aim of the Year is that all over Europe disabled and non-disabled people will take action to make changes, so that disabled people are treated equally in society.
One winning drawing will be selected per country and these will be used to create the official postcard and e-card for the European Year of Disabled People. The lucky artists will also win a trip to Brussels to an awards ceremony in December 2002 on the European Day of Disabled People.
The competition is open to all young people from 10 - 15 years old, disabled and non-disabled. The message from Anna Diamantopoulou, European Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs is: If that's you, or someone you know, start drawing!
