Visa Olympics of the Imagination.

Visa International recently announced that it would be hosting its successful youth art competition.

Thirty-five children between the ages of nine and 13 will be selected from 25 countries including Bermuda to attend the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

Children are encouraged to create an original piece of art that represents what the Olympic motto "Citius, Altius, Fortius'' (Faster, Higher, Stronger) means to them.

The programme will run from January in most of the participating countries until May, 2000 when the winners will be announced.

More information about the programme will be announced at a later date.

Those interested can contact the website at www.visa.com/visakids/ or call Mike Sherman on (650)432-3923.
