THE Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited (GBTI) 2011 calendar campaign is ongoing, under the theme “Nurturing of Good Manners”.
According to a statement issued by the bank, in the campaign, the nurturing of good manners is deemed essential for every child’s self confidence and success in life. The encouragement of good manners gives young people an opportunity to learn and practice social skills that last a life time, the bank says.
The competition is open to young people between the ages of 10 and 15, and they are required to write an essay not exceeding 100 words explaining the importance of practising good manners. Each entry must contain personal details such as name, age, address, phone number and name of their school.
The bank will select six winning entries from among those submitted, and the selected entries, along with a photograph of the winner and the text of the essay, will appear on the pages of the calendar. Each winner will receive a $20,000 cash prize in a GBTI Early Savers Account.
Entries can be addressed to any GBTI location countrywide and must be headed GBTI 2011 Calendar Competition, “Nurturing of Good Manners”.
Entries must be submitted by October 22, 2010.
