entries in this year's annual colouring contest.

The bank has received more than 2,300 entries from the Island's primary schools.

Winners will receive savings accounts at the bank in amounts of $50 for first prize, $30 for second, and $20 for third. The prizes will be awarded for each primary year. An overall winner will receive a $100 award.

"The judges will have their hands full evaluating this year's entries,'' said Tom Lamont, senior manager of marketing.

"The standards of creativity seems to improve each year, and I am sure the panel of judges will have an even more difficult time judging this year's entries.''
