Art & Poetry
Competition
AAHR (Australian Association for Humane Research) Inc is a not for profit organisation
dedicated to ending the use of animals in all experiments. Our aim is to promote the use of
scientific alternatives in all forms for medical, scientific and commercial research.
To coincide with World Week for Animals in Laboratories (April 2009), AAHR is inviting
secondary school students to take part in its nationwide art and poetry competition. The topic
is animal experimentation – a hotly debated subject amongst the community.
World Week for Animals in Laboratories is designed to raise awareness of the plight of
animals used in research and teaching, and is an important reminder to the community about
the health dangers on relying on animal experimentation. The competition is designed to
encourage students to research the subject in greater detail and give them the opportunity to
express their opinions about the topic.
The competition is open nationally to all secondary school / college students, with two
categories – Art & Poetry.
There will be three prize places – 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category. Prizes include a Kodak
all-in-one printer and cruelty-free gift sets from Pure Gaisha.
All entries should include an entry form which can be downloaded from AAHR –
Maximum size for artwork is A3 and can be submitted on any media: drawing, painting,
computer graphic design or photography.
Entries close April 10th 2009, with the winners being announced during World Week for
Animals in Laboratories. Winning entries will be published in our mid year newsletter.
