VCR WEBSITE UPGRADE & LOGO COMPETITION
Announcing the VCR logo competition.
Create your region’s future look.
The plan is to have a new look to for 2010.
The VCR Committee is reviewing the VCR public image and wants you to suggest how we should present ourselves to the world. A new logo & tag for publications, website, letterhead and other communications are planned but needs your input.
A visual logo that captures the concept of the Vic Central Region membership is required and needs your imaginations to be working overtime. Get those right brain creative juices working and pens doodling to draft a concept logo for your region and be in the running to win a mixed half dozen of quality Central Victorian regional wines. Add a tag line suggestion for a bonus surprise.
Tag line suggestions so far include:
VCR – The Heart (Heartland) of Australia’s Alpaca Industry
VCR – The “Very Centre”(Get it?? Get it???) of Australia’s Alpaca Industry (or Production)
Entries to be received by COB Friday 12th February 2010 by the VCR secretary (emails and letters will be accepted).
The judging panel is the VCR committee. Prize for the winning entry has been donated by Errydge Park Suris and will be presented to the creator of the winning entry at the VCR OGM on Saturday 17/04/09.
VCR are finalising the redesign and upgrade of this Website.
The plan is to have a new look for 2010.
You have a rare opportunity to get images of your animals and your property on the first cut of the new site.
If you can supply images like the one that Dandura Alpacas has (see below), please send your images and content to Lorna Hooper or you can contact me on 03 57938131 after 7.00 PM.

In the future, VCR Committee will levy a small fee on members who want to feature their Studs or animals on our key pages, unless those animals or Studs are being featured for some kind of achievement.
We're looking for high quality JPEGs that can be successfully reproduced as web images.
It is important to promote our professional agri-business image rather than emphasising our more traditional "cuddly 'pacca" one. Images of kids cuddling cria will be used but these images are unlikely to be on our key pages.
Content. stories, articles, advice and observations will be considered provided they meet the VCR's Editorial Policy as it is applied to content for inclusion in "The Yarn".
Please send your images and content to Lorna Hooper or you can contact me on 03 57938131 after 7.00 PM.
