Budding artists can win £60 worth of computer games by designing a poster for the York Road Market regeneration campaign in Southend.

Entries should depict the market through the ages and the winning poster will be displayed around the town to advertise the York Road Indoor Market Exhibition.

The regeneration campaign was launched last month to mark the market's 85th anniversary and help raise funds to give the market a facelift.

The closing entry for the poster competition, open to schoolchildren, is July 7 and posters should be A4 size. The winner will be announced on July 12.

For more information contact organiser Carol Almquest on 01702 466077 or 01268 699390.
