EALING Broadway Shopping Centre is putting finishing touches to its Silver Anniversary celebrations.

The centre was opened on March 7, 1985 by HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

The centre is launching the festivities with an exciting challenge to the local community, asking members to design an image which in turn will be printed on a recyclable cotton shopping bag to mark the Centre’s 25th Anniversary.

Not only will the bag be a proud commemoration of 25 great years, but it will also be a demonstration of the Centre’s eco friendly credentials.

Although the design should complement the colours within the EBSC identity palette and fit within a supplied template, the only other criterion is that it encapsulates the Centre’s fun and vibrancy.

The closing date for entries is Monday, May 17, 2010.

The winning designer will see their creation carried with pride by local shoppers, and will also receive £500 worth of vouchers to spend at Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre.

Elizabeth Bell, centre manager at Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre said: “Without a doubt this competition is going to fire the imagination of the local community. The winning design will in turn make a vibrant, covetable and environmentally friendly bag that will really sum up what EBSC is all about.

“In addition to the bag design, we have many more events planned for 2010 – so watch this space!”
