Like Youth Dance logo competition
Blue Eyed Soul Dance Company is delivering a Like Youth Dance - a two year programme of local out of school dance activity for disabled and non-disabled people aged 5-18.
We are looking for a logo to represent our three different age groups:
• 5 – 8 yrs
• 8 – 12 yrs
• 13 – 18 yrs
Can you come up with something fun and snappy? The winning designs will get a t-shirt with their logo on – and see it splashed on our publicity!
Send in your design for any of these age groups by Friday 18th December 2009.
The design should be based around the words Like Youth Dance and can be drawn on paper, or in a digital format to put on a disk or email to us.
Don’t forget to include: your name, contact number and address so we can get back in touch with you!
See Like Youth Dance for further information
