ORGANISERS of the Old Town Festival have launched a hunt to find a design for the front cover of this year's programme.

As well as laying out the timetable of events, sales of programmes also raise funds for the festival committee.

This year's festival will take place from June 25 to July 3.

Historic re-enactments, jazz music, continental markets and a procession will be among the highlights.

Design competition organiser Jane Tabatabai said: "The competition is a great chance to contribute to Old Town and bring ideas to the festival.

"Any designs should be a collage and reflect the values of the Old Town Festival. It could be pictures of previous festivals, a landmark in the area or even a poignant memory of Old Town."

Designers of all ages are being urged to submit their designs on A5 paper.

The winner will receive a prize and will be able to take part in the festival procession on Saturday, July 2.

Entrants should send their entries along with their name and contact details to the Old Town Festival c/o Sue Thornton 6 Sarsen Close, Old Town, Swindon, SN1 4LA.

Entries must be in by February 25 and the winner will be chosen by March 1.
