Antigua St. John's - Aspiring young journalists, visual artists and photographers aged 7 to 18 will have an opportunity to design and write the first ever Donkey Sanctuary magazine, that will be sold to visitors and supporters.

This exciting opportunity is all part of the Antigua Donkey Sanctuary’s new education outreach program to attract more visitors, as well as involve young people in the work of this world-recognised organisation.

“The Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society started looking after at-risk, stray and abandoned donkeys since 1993 and we presently look after 160 donkeys at our sanctuary near Bethesda. We do have visitors both local and tourists who come along and fall in love with the donkeys and sponsor them. However, we want to reach more people and felt that a magazine designed and written by young people would make a great souvenir,” states Karen M Corbin, President/Executive Director of the Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society.

The competition is really simple and is free to enter, as Corbin explains: “We wanted a competition that would allow the winners to have real hands-on experience of designing, writing, drawing and taking pictures for the magazine. All they have to do is like our official Facebook Page Antigua's Donkey Sanctuary -- and complete the following sentence:

“The best ten entries will become the editorial team and will spend a day at the Donkey Sanctuary working with HAMA Antigua and Brenda Lee Browne to produce the magazine. This is such a great opportunity for young persons who like to write, to ask questions, draw and take photographs. We are really looking forward to seeing the end product.”

There will also be prizes for the top ten, which will be announced, as well as a plaque honouring the editorial team permanently displayed at the Donkey Sanctuary. The team members will receive copies of the magazine for their portfolio.

The deadline for entries is November 30th, and winners will be notified in the first week of December.
