Competition asks Wokingham people to design the future

Those with an eye for design and able to paint a vision for the future are being asked to create a logo for Wokingham Borough’s Strategic Partnership after the launch of an exciting competition last week (Friday March 9).

Launched at the highly successful Community Conference entitled Delivering the Vision Together, the Wokingham competition is looking for entrants who can design a logo to reflect the Strategic Partnership’s aims, purpose and work. Anyone who lives, works or studies within the Wokingham borough is invited to put their imaginations to work and come up with a logo that positively represents the Partnership and its members. It needs to appeal to all members of the community, reflecting the wide-reaching partnership.

With a first-prize of £300 sponsored by TradeMark Windows and Conservatories (whose proprietor Mark Ashwell represents the Chamber of Commerce on the Strategic Partnership), a runner-up prize of £100 and prizes for short-listed entries, the partnership is hoping to encourage as many people as possible to enter.

Wokingham Designs should be clear enough to be used at a small size, for instance on a leaflet, or at a larger size, for instance poster size. It should also be suitable for use in multi and single colour and black and white.

The competition has two categories:
• Under 16 years
• 16 years and over

The Strategic Partnership includes all the key stakeholders in the Wokingham borough, such as police, fire and ambulance services, borough, town and parish councils, health services, voluntary and community groups and local businesses, and works to improve residents’ quality of life.
Cllr Dianne King, who chairs the Wokingham Partnership, said: “I really hope that local people take up this challenge to design a logo that reflects the wide-ranging work of the Partnership. We’re working on some really important projects that will shape the future of the borough and we’re looking for a dynamic logo to represent that.

“And, of course, anyone who enters stands the chance of winning a prize!”

An entry form and competition guidelines, rules and regulations are available by emailing policy manager Sue Roberts on sue.Roberts@wokingham.gov.uk. Entries should be submitted in hard copy, or on disk, to Sue Roberts, Policy Manager, Wokingham Borough Council, Shute End, Wokingham, RG40 1BN by May 4, 2007.
