Animals can count on me

All primary school pupils are invited to show their support for the welfare of animals by entering the Animal Anti-Cruelty League’s (AACL) 19th annual primary school poster competition: Animals Can Count On Me.

To enter pupils have to create posters depicting ways in which people show compassion and kindness to animals, care for them and contribute to improve animals’ lives in positive ways.

A poster is a picture with a message. Successful posters show how people are kind to animals.

A slogan, title or catch phrase can also contribute towards making the message clear.

A good poster stands out, is bold, eye-catching and grabs one’s attention.

Enter in one of the 4 Categories:

• Category 1: Grade 1 and 2
• Category 2: Grade 3, 4 and 5
• Category 4: Grade 6 and 7
• Category 5: Special Needs Schools (No grades)

Get creative and draw or paint colourful and original posters depicting the theme: “Animals Can Count on Me” in any medium (paint, pastel, crayon, ink, etc.)

Please use A2 or A3 paper only.

On each entry, clearly print:

• Pupil’s name, surname, entry category, grade and age
• School’s name and contact details

Send as many entries as you wish, but remember to send a R10 donation for each entry.

No cash, only bank deposits or electronic transfers are accepted.

This small contribution is a way to help the AACL to continue caring for and protecting animals in need.
