In the open entry competition the s judges decided that the posters sub- j 2 mitted by Messrs Chapman and Clark i 3 showed such exceptional merit that I s they should be placed equal and that 3 the entrants should divide the first and ' second prize-money. These are illus- “ trated. J WOMEN PARTICIPATE 1 The official announcement of the re--1 suits stated that it was particularly I gratifying to find such a large number entries from members of the - Territorial Force and also that a num--5 ber of entries came from women. Arrangements will be made early in 1 the New Year to display the posters j throughout New Zealand, i . The winning posters are striking both in design and colour. Red, yellow and blue were the predominating col- > ours use d in most of the entries sub- ' mitted. The winning entry in the section open only to members of the military forces is as good as the best posters in the open class. It depicts three principal figures—tw’o territorials and 1 an Air Force unit-arm in arm with a column of troops marching across the ; poster at their feet.
