Chwarae Teg would like to thank the panel of judges: Jo Conti, Rachel Jones, Mari Thomas and Robert Lloyd Griffiths and all those who entered the Chwarae Teg Design Contest. 


In the build-up towards Chwarae Teg's 20th Anniversary in 2012 we are launching a Design Contest.

The Chwarae Teg design contest is giving women who are studying in the creative disciplines, for example: art, graphic design, fashion, sculpture etc. the opportunity to create a fresh perspective on the importance of striving for fair play for women in Wales.

Using our existing green and purple 'ribbons' logo the objective is to create a piece of work that will show this symbol of 'Fairplay for Women' in a new and innovative context. It is open to female students based in Wales studying from A-level upwards at school, college or university.

As part of their prize the winner and two runners up will have their entries displayed in the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea for a period of 3 months starting on 8th March 2012.

Their work will form part of an exhibition to chart 20 years of Chwarae Teg's achievements in supporting the economic development of women in Wales.

The closing date for submissions is Sunday 18th December 2011.

I became a mother at 38 years of age – it was the most life-changing event of my life. Challenging, frightening, empowering, educating, momentous - finding the balance between work, home and play was almost impossible. Each day, as women, we are faced with social challenges, moral dilemmas, children to raise, people to please, money to make, body’s to tone, beauty to keep, the list is endless, and I wish I was bionic to cope with it all. I look around at my friends, my family, my colleagues and I realise that wonder woman exists in us all – we just need to believe it.

Inspiring stuff Maggy. I think drive and ambition will see you though anything, so keep your chin up to inspire others too. Great work.
Gareth Emanuel
This is great and so true . . . well done. The only bit missing is the word GUILT . . . however, that probably comes under moral dilemmas . .. but it kicked in instantly . . . am I doing it right? am I being an appropriate role model? but most of all when I put my needs first . . . it hurts and makes me question should I be doing so?
Karen Aspinall

As a mum to two young children I can totally empathise with this and feels that Maggy has it the nail on the head. Wonder women has always been my hero and I'd like to believe that there's a bit of her inside me. This really makes me feel empowered to continue the good work that is not always recognised. Thanks!

Well done Maggy, succinctly put and totally identifiable.

I can so empathise. We are a new breed of women who are discovering that it’s never too late to take control of our destiny, whether that means choosing to have a baby later in life, risking all to build our own business or both. We did both. Fab design. Forge ahead with providence and fortitude.
Esther Apoussidis
