Society and it's Prizes.

A glance at the notice board in the sixth form common room in school perhaps betrays more about society’s values than you may presume. Admittedly the note which says ‘DO NOT LEAVE FOOD ON TABLES” is not hiding any profound meaning, however slightly to the right of this garish command is a far more exciting notice, or rather 3 pages of notices and an A3 colour poster.

Yes, It’s that time of year again – Miss Northern Ireland. An excited group of girls buzz around the normally empty wall to dream that they may be too pretty to bother with A levels like the rest of us mere mortals. The attached application form asks for ‘dress size’ – 14+ need not apply?

Yet, more exciting is the prise list, a brand new corsa, free manicures, free fake tan and hair styling for a year, free fitness and life coaching and 6 new formal dresses! Sign me up!

Sadly, underneath this loud notice (and generally unregarded by all) is a sad black and white notice, which obviously has no graphic designer on its team.

“Poetry Competition – Prize £40”
