Ideas competition for ACT school students - Everyone Everyday - 101 ways to include people with disability

ACT BLITS is pleased to announce the launch of a creative ideas competition
for ACT school students called "Everyone Everyday - 101 ways to include
people with disability".
The competition invites ACT school students to tell us their ideas - through
words, drawings or photos - about the things that everyone can do to include
people with disability in everyday life.
There are great prizes to win.
Entries will be displayed in a Canberra exhibition in Youth Week, April
2012. Students will also have a chance to have their idea included in a
book to be published in 2012.
The competition entry form is available at: everyone everyday entry
form<http://www.blits.org.au/docs/final_entry_form_accessible.pdf>.
The competition poster is available at: everyone everyday
poster<http://www.blits.org.au/docs/final_poster_accessible.pdf>.
Entry forms and posters will also be available at ACT public libraries in
December 2011 and in all ACT schools (Term 1, 2012).
You might like to promote the competition over the holiday period, run the
competition as a school holiday activity with younger clients and customers,
or perhaps younger family members might be interested in entering the
competition with their own ideas.
Entries close 1 April 2012.
