Darlington Civic Trust is inviting colleges and art groups to enter a competition to design a logo. The trust, which was set up to ensure places of public interest in the town were preserved, first met in March. The logo will be seen across the country as the trust promotes its work, so must capture the essence of what the trust is trying to achieve. The competition is open to anyone living in the Tees Valley and closes on September 12. For details call (01325) 484781.
