Leominster Rotary Club is calling on budding young artists to enter an international competition to help convey an important message.

Young artists aged 11, 12 and 13 are invited to design a poster with the theme of 'Service in the Community and the World' in the build up to Rotary International's centenary celebrations in 2005.

Leominster Rotarian Brook Phillips said the local art competition winner stood a chance of getting through district and regional heats to compete in the international competition.

The work of local winners will go on display in Leominster Library. Competition entries should be sent to the club c/o their meeting place, The Royal Oak Hotel, Leominster, by the closing date of November 23.
