Souvenir and Handcraft Competitior venir and handcraft design characteristic of the Province of Ontario have been issued by the Ontario Souvenir Promotion Committee. The Committee was set up by the Ontario Government to stimulate souvenir pro- duction at home in an industry which now imports more than $7,000,000 of goods from other countries for sale in this province. A first prize in ten separate categories of $100 each will be offered, with a grand best- ofâ€"show prize of $500. A panel of judges will base their decisions on a number of factors, including suitability as a souvenir, suitability to the purpose for which the item is designed, suitability for quantity production, market ac- ceptance, and degree of local identification. A spokesman for the Ontario Department of Travel and Publicity, which is jointly spon- soring the event with the Department of Eco- nomics and Development, said that “the Onâ€" tario souvenir and handcraft industry is being currently affected by an annual import of goods valued at $7,200,000.
