Press Release: European Year of People with Disabilities: Commission Launches Design Competition for Young People

A competition was launched in July 2002 to design the official postcard for the European Year of People with Disabilities in 2003. The European Commission, which is organising the Year in close co-operation with the European Disability Forum, is asking young people aged between 10-15 to illustrate the changes they would make to ensure disabled people get a fairer deal. The aim of the Year is that all over Europe disabled and non-disabled people will take action to make changes, so that disabled people are treated equally in society.
