TODAY'S Engineers Help Us Work and Play' is the theme for the Today's Engineers national drawing competition.

The competition is organised by 15 of the UK's leading professional engineering bodies. It challenges five to seven-year-olds to draw or paint a picture either of an engineer at work or of something designed by engineers that help them or their family to work or play.

Prizes include cash sums for the child and school and the winner will be awarded a family ticket to Disneyland Paris. Details of the competition are being sent to every primary school in the UK.
