Last week to design a poster to save Dolphins in Egypt

UK teenagers are being urged to get creative to help save Dolphins in Egypt.

The Chamber of Diving and Watersports (CDWS) in Egypt and the organisers of The Big Scuba Show  have launched a competition for young people aged 13 – 18 to design a poster and slogan promoting the appeal to ban dolphin captivity in Egypt.

The last dolphinarium in the UK closed in 1993 and CDWS is anxious to impress on British tourists that visiting them on holiday will only support dolphin captivity.

The winner of the poster competition will win a holiday for four to the Red Sea.
 
Spokesperson for the Chamber of Diving and Watersports, Mary Gleeson said: “This is a really exciting competition for teenagers who care about dolphins to get involved with. All entries will be uploaded to an online gallery and the winning entry will be awarded their prize on stage at the Big Scuba Show at Olympia, London in February. A selection of entries will also be displayed in a dedicated area at the show.”
 
Entries to the competition close on January 30th 2011. To find out more about how to submit an entry visit – www.thebigscubashow.com
