Calling all kids
Can you design a CD cover?

It's nearly 200 years since the slave trade was banned, and there'll be lots of celebrations in Hull because William Wilberforce, the man who helped ban it, was born here. As part of the Wilberforce 2007 celebrations, the musician Paul Field has written a musical called Cargo, which is all about the struggle to end the slave trade.
This month's competition is to design the cover for the CD. The best entries will be displayed at Hull City Hall on March 31 next year, where the musical will be performed. The winning entry may also be used as the final CD cover.
(You can read more about the slave trade and the Wilberforce 2007 events on page 13 - and that might give you some ideas for your design.)

Others will feel the same as you do
Chill
Enjoy yourself
Teachers aren't scary
Think happy thoughts
