IN KEEPING WITH observances of the International Day for Sickle Cell Awareness, the Guyana Sickle Cell Association (GSCA) and the Sonia Noel Foundation for the Creative Arts (SNFCA) would like to invite the general public to participate in the Logo Competition for the GSCA.

It’s simple; here’s how it works:
Come up with a concept, design and tagline for the Guyana Sickle Cell Association, ensuring that it reflects the mission and aim of the GSCA; then submit the original and copy, on both paper and digitally, to 176 Barr Street, Kitty, in care of the SNFCA. Digital copies can be sent to guyananurses@gmail.com or sonianoelfca@gmail.com

The selected winner will be chosen based on the set criteria, which include creativity, originality, relevance, and appeal. The name of that person would be announced publicly, and he/she would be contacted to participate in the events of the week of observances, besides receiving a day trip for two to the exotic Baganara Island Resort, and have his/her designs displayed on T-Shirts for the Charity Walk on June 21, as well as at the Style Mission Fashion Show at the Pegasus.

The deadline for submission of entries is June 02, 2014.

The charity event, ‘Style Mission’, to raise funds for the Sickle Cell Association, is slated for June 21, 2014 at the Pegasus Hotel. A ticket to the event costs $3000 and will be on sale at the Pegasus Hotel and at Sonia Noel Designs in Barr Street, Kitty, Georgetown.
