SHENZHEN Red Cross and the Shenzhen Blood Center are inviting public submissions of slogans, poster ideas and souvenir badge designs promoting voluntary blood donation.
Up to 10,000 yuan (US$1,494) will be awarded to the winning designs, a Shenzhen Economic Daily report said.
People can log on to www.szbc.org for detailed design requirements, contact information and how to submit their ideas. The deadline is March 3 next year.
Authorities will set up a judging panel of renowned graphic designers, cultural scholars and experts.
The result will be made public on www.szbc.org around mid-June next year.
Shenzhen has taken the national lead in blood donations over the past 10 years, the paper said. It initiated the voluntary service in 2000.
The existing promotional slogans for blood donation were adopted 10 years ago.
In a new period, we need new ideas to promote voluntary blood donation, said Ren Luliang, vice director of Shenzhen Blood Center. (Martin Li)
