Early Chest Emblem Art Indicates Many Emr_ies Competition Extended Through May 7 to Allow More Preparation As first entries in the Community Chest's $175 prize contest for de- sign of an official Chest emblem began yesterday to roll into the office of the contest editor at The Star, there were indications that the total list of entrants will be large. Y Each day numbers of competitors are telephoning or making personal visits to Chest headquarters—to iron out doubtful points of contest rules and to learn more about the organization's services, which they are to symbolize in insignia. All the first designs received are painstakingly drafted. The desire of contestants to spend hours of labor on their insignia has caused Chest officials to extend the com- petition through May 7, one week beyond the closing date first an- nounced. The winning design will be granted a $100 prize, from the purse of a private donor. Second prize 15 $50 and third prize $25. For Permanent Emblem. Questions asked of Community Chest officials indicate that some competitors have misunderstood the nature of the design desired. It will not be used principally as .a campaign poster, but as a year- round permanent emblem, officials emphasized. It will find a place at the head of Community Chest sta- tionary and probably on volunteer’s buttons. The officials stated that words may be used as part of the insignia, but are not required. In some cases, the words “Community Chest,” or a brief slogan can be integrated with the pictorial structure of the design, they said. This is particu- larly true in circular patterns. On the other hand, imagination in the picture flashed at the eye is the element most desired in the design. It must catch the spirit| of co-operation and generosity of | the Chest and depict its work for various parts of the community, Chest Has Service Information. The Chest headquarters is equipped to supply competitors with detailed information on the organi- zation's work. The contest’s panel of judges, headed by H. L. Rust, jr., will meet today at Chest offices to discuss judging standards. Judges include C. Powell Minnigerode, director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art; David Finley, director of the National Art Gallery; C. K. Berryman, cartoonist, for The Star; George Lohr, com- mercial artist; Coleman Jennings, president of the Chest, and Herbert L. Willett, jr., Chest director. Any artist or would-be-artist, of at least high school age, from Wash- ington or vicinity is eligible in the competition. Here are instructions for compet- dtors: All entries must be brought to the business counter or mailed to “Contest Editor,” The Evening Star, Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue N.W., on or before May 7.
